Extended Day

Learning that keeps going after 2:30.

At FLI, academics play a substantial role outside the classroom as well. We extend our students’ learning opportunities with our innovative Extended Day program, consisting of various extracurricular seminars/classes in applied science, physical education, student council, and visual/performing arts. These seminars/classes are designed not only to enhance the depth of our academic offerings, but to foster a self-directed student learning experience beyond the conventional classroom to ignite interest and passion.

FLI's Extended Day Program provides an opportunity for educational experiences above and beyond what is offered during the school day. Course offerings present student with various disciplines and activities; twice a year students participate in performances to celebrate and showcase everything they've learned in the program.
