After-school care can mean very different things from one school to the next. At Mirman School, the Extended Day Program (EDP) is built around two distinct components, each serving a different need for families and students.
Quick Answer for Busy Parents
Mirman’s Extended Day Program consists of Annex, supervised after-school care running until 6:00 p.m., and Enrichment, a daily rotation of themed classes from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. covering everything from robotics to theater. Both are available to currently enrolled Lower and Upper School students.
What the Extended Day Program Is
The Extended Day Program is designed for currently enrolled students in both Lower and Upper School, giving families flexibility after dismissal while keeping students engaged, reflecting a broader personalized learning approach that extends beyond the regular school day.
Annex vs. Enrichment
| Program | What It Offers |
| Annex | Supervised after-school care until 6:00 p.m., with a quiet homework period from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. |
| Enrichment | A daily rotation of themed classes from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., including robotics, improv, mock trial, sewing, hip hop, and Irish dance |

Why the Structure Matters
Annex functions as a dependable, low-key base for students who need a calm space to unwind and get a start on homework. Enrichment, by contrast, offers a rotating menu of structured classes that let students explore new interests they might not otherwise encounter during the school day, reflecting a broader educational philosophy. Each student receives one enrichment class per year at no additional cost, with the option to add more for a fee. Together, the two programs give families flexibility depending on what a given afternoon calls for.
