Beyond the Classroom

Your child can come early and stay late!

St. Mary’s Episcopal School’s Beyond the Classroom "BTC" program offers AM, PM and Extended Care for families. Students can register for the semester, or pay a daily drop-in rate. Before and after care is available for all ages - Early Threes, Preschool, Pre-K, and K-5. 

Our BTC program is run by former SMES 4th grade teacher, Bill Krywicki. Mr. Krywicki brings with him twenty-five years of experience in education, a great love for learning through play, and an even greater love of our students.
