Wakefield Academy is an Extended Day Program that provides activities and experiences to help promote children’s physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth. Through participation in recreational, academic, and athletic activities, members of Wakefield Academy build skills to help them become life-long learners while shaping strong relationships with peers and adults. Wakefield Academy prides itself on providing a safe and enriching environment for all our students.
Programs include homework support, athletics, arts and crafts, playground, and field time. These programs are staffed by adults employed by the Wakefield Public Schools as well as college assistants, and high school students for additional support. In addition to our Before and After School Programs, February/April Vacation Camps, and Summer Programs, Wakefield Academy also offers a variety of enrichment programs designed to meet the varied interests of all students in the WPS community.
