Before and After School Enrichment Program (BASE) – Elementary children will be able
to choose among a variety of recreational, social, and intellectual activities, working
independently or in groups. This daily enrichment program will be housed in the HIVE in the
Galbraith Family Building, providing technology and design materials to support their
interests. During Bridge Time and on in-service or conference days, elementary students will
leave campus on day trips in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

Bridge Time - “Bridge Time” refers to the periods between the academic school year and
Alcuin Summer. Parents seeking care for a student during “Bridge Time” in June and/or
August may register for MPC or BASE, according to the child’s age. Please note that Alcuin
School does not provide programming in the last two weeks of July, with the exception of the
All Day Montessori Toddler classroom.

Choir – Alcuin School’s Elementary choir, for levels 1 through 6, provides students
with an initial opportunity to be inspired and enriched by the communicative, artistic, creative,
and collaborative aspects of choral singing. The mission of the choir is to embody Alcuin
School’s overarching goal of pursuing excellence and artistry in performance and in support
of the community. This non-select choral ensemble performs throughout the year at various
events including Grandparents’ Day, Winter Concert, and an end-of-year concert.

Montessori Primary Care Program (MPC) – MPC is offered for students in Primary who
need 5-day-a-week care as their parents both work outside of the home. While MPC will not
duplicate the Montessori classroom, the approach to the child, the kinds of activities, and the
general expectations will be consistent with what the children experience in their regular
classroom. The program is led by a Montessori guide who works with other MPC staff to
create a home-like environment that allows children to grow socially and emotionally while
remaining true to the Montessori philosophy that children thrive when engaged in purposeful
activities.

Service Learning – Alcuin School students will have the opportunity to learn about the needs
of others, and to organize ways to support these needs in service to the broader community.
Service learning is a combining of community service with learning goals. In this way, student
learning and the community is enriched by their assistance. Students prepare for the service
learning experience by learning about areas of need, and organizing a response. This form
of integrated learning meets the needs within the community, is age appropriate, student
driven and collaborative. It requires reflection and organization before the service learning
activity can occur. Service Learning is an essential component of one of our core values –
developing respectful and responsible global citizens.
