Winter & Spring Break Camps and Childcare Days are $10.50 per hour of actual usage, rounded up to the next hour. Childcare is provided at no charge during a student’s Parent/Caregiver-Teacher Conference.

Late pick-ups incur a flat $25 fee. Extended Day program registration and usage fees are billed through FACTS. Families who qualify for and receive tuition assistance receive 50% off Extended Day Program fees (Before Care and After Care), plus a percentage discount on League Sports fees.

Program Structure

After Care begins with attendance and a snack before students are sent off to any scheduled activities, including sports practices. Students not signed up for a scheduled activity play outside (weather permitting) or gather in classrooms by age and grade level.

After-School Classes

After-School Classes further enhance a student’s After Care experience. Seasonal sessions typically run six weeks; pricing is variable based on ages, subject area, materials, program length, and vendor partners. Offerings include (but are not limited to!) include study hall, tennis, martial arts, dance, golf, chess, and more. Classes are taught at Forsyth by current and former faculty and staff members or outside partner vendors (examples include Frontenac Racquet Club, St. Louis Scott Gallagher, etc.).

Family may also arrange private art lessons, music lessons, and tutoring directly with Forsyth faculty members.

League Sports

Forsyth participates in the Clayton Recreation League; offerings include soccer, girls’ volleyball, basketball, tee-ball, baseball, and softball. Practices are held after school at Forsyth; games are held at the Center of Clayton or Charles A. Shaw Park. Students in Pre-Kindergarten and Junior-Kindergarten participate in a soccer skills clinic with St. Louis Scott Gallagher at Forsyth. The $210 per-season fee includes league fees and uniforms for season use.
