Before & After Care

Harding Academy's commitment to support our families continues into the after school programs that are offered throughout the year.

Care is available beginning at 7:00 AM every morning and lasts until 5:55 PM (lower school) and 6:00 pm (middle school) every evening.
For students of all ages, the wide variety of opportunities are designed to enhance and build upon their educational experience.

Whether students are arriving early in the morning or staying until the end of the Pursuit or Study Hall day, they will experience a warm and welcoming atmosphere, safe and caring adults, and opportunities to connect with their peers. 

Before Care
  • Before Care is available between 7:00 - 7:30 AM Monday through Friday for a charge of $5 per day on a drop-in basis.
  • Wednesday mornings, classes begin at 8:30 AM rather than 7:30 AM. We offer Late Start Wednesday morning care from 7: 30 AM - 8:30 AM for no charge. Advanced sign-ups are not required.
After Care
  • Power Hour supports our youngest students, and provides a special time of day for PreK students between 2:00 - 3:00 PM most school days. There is no charge for Power Hour.

  • PURSUIT is Harding’s after-school program for PreK through 5th grade, and is available from 3:00 - 5:55 PM at an hourly rate of
    $8.50 per student. PURSUIT is billed at the end of each month. 

  • Middle School Study Hall is available without charge to students 6th-8th grade from 3:20 - 6:00 PM. 

  • After-School Camps are offered on a trimester basis throughout the school year. Most camps take place one day a week for 10 weeks, and typically run from 3:05 PM - 4:15 PM. After-School Camps are offered by a combination of Harding faculty and community partners, and typically cost between $150-200 per camp. Most camps serve students Kindergarten through 5th grade, but there may be some camps for PreK and middle school students as well.
