Nurturing Knowledge
Nurturing Knowledge School offers quality after-school programs onsite at Loyal Heights. Families may choose from three, four, or five days a week schedule, based on availability.
Our After School Program offers a nurturing and experiential environment for students to grow, learn, create, share, and most importantly, be themselves. Students are offered time to explore and engage in enrichment activities of their choice as well as work on projects with teachers to help cultivate their in-depth interests and ideas. Our program and projects enhance the school experience by supporting classroom learning, positive social interactions, and student-to-teacher relationships.
Our Full-Day Program is offered throughout the school year when Loyal Heights is closed for Professional Development and holiday breaks. Full Day program is available for NKS students (pending available space) at an additional charge.
Our Summer Camp Program is open to students that will enter 1st-5th grades in the Fall. Each week focuses on an engaging theme, and offers children opportunities to build skills, explore nature, and create lasting memories.
