After three o’clock

Extended Education

Specialist-led classes, Mon–Thu 3:00–4:30 PM.

A wide art room: seven scholars around a large wooden table with coloured paper and a pencil case on it, a teacher standing at the back demonstrating with both hands, storage shelves of bins and paper stock along the back wall.

Extended Education is Tradewinds’ after-school specials program: small, specialist-led classes from 3:00–4:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. Some instructors are also part of the core Tradewinds day; others come in specifically for Extended Education.

Every class is thoughtful, engaging programming: an extension of the Tradewinds school day, crafted with gifted kids in mind by the instructors in partnership with our team. Small groups, real depth, and instructors chosen for their expertise in the field. Enrolled Tradewinds families have priority enrollment, and when space allows classes are also open to qualified students from outside the school.

Enrollment

Fall 2026 classes are underway and registration is closed. Robotics and Photography began in August and run through December.

The spring 2027 lineup will be announced later this fall. To hear when registration opens, email info@tradewinds.school.

Who teaches Extended Education

Working artists, craftspeople, athletes, naturalists, musicians, designers, and engineers, as well as traditional classroom teachers. Part-time roles, flexible scheduling, semester-long commitments. We’re looking for depth in a field and a real love of helping bright, curious elementary students discover new abilities.

If you know someone who might be a fit, please point them our way.
