Extended Day Program

Extended Day Program

The school day is split into Core school day – 8:00am – 4:30pm, and Extended school day – 4:30 – 6:00pm. The summer holiday is in August.

The Extended School Day program of Otkrivatel Montessori School provides a continuation of the Montessori philosophy of mutual respect, independence and cooperation to which the students are accustomed in the classroom. The clubs and extra classes play a large part of school life, with a wide variety of activities available to primary and elementary students. The clubs are part of the Extended day program, which is available every day in the week. A list of clubs is provided through the monthly newsletter to parents before the school year and is available at our online system.

Throughout the year, specialty instructors from the community offer optional classes in subjects such as dancing, swimming, football, tennis, theatre, arts, digital art and robotics, and world languages. These classes vary from year to year and are offered to different age groups and at different levels of expertise. These classes are selected and supervised by our Coordinator. A student could sign in for Extended day, classes and clubs for the school term or the school year.
