Extended Day Program (XDP)

The BA Extended Day Program (XDP) starts during the third full week of school and is generally offered whenever we have a full school day (e.g. XDP is not offered on half-days). During XDP, scholars will have a snack & recess, and will work on homework or supplemental assignments to help them meet their academic goals.

Hours start at dismissal until 5pm on Monday – Thursday only. Scholars will need to be picked up from campus no later than 5:15pm. The tuition schedule will be based on household income, with need-based financial assistance available for families who qualify.

I was drawn to Butler Academy because of its dedication to ensuring that all students are given an equal opportunity to succeed through individualized instruction, multiple learning strategies, and positive feedback to help them develop successful learning approaches and confidence in their ability to succeed. As a child, school was often a struggle for me, therefore, I closely identify with giving students that extra boost to help them become productive learners.
