Lower School Afterschool Activities
We are excited to offer the following afterschool options for our Lower School students! Note that offerings can change seasonally and some have capacity limits. As each program is run by a different department or administrator, please see the sign-up link listed with each activity for details on how to register your child.
Important note: General or daily aftercare for the Garrison Forest Lower School is offered through Harford Heights. We highly recommend all families register for Harford Heights at the beginning of the school year in case you need drop-in care during the year. Please click here to register your child with Harford Heights. On the registration form, you are able to select the days you will need care if that is known, or you can register for drop-in care/emergency basis only.
Sports (Winter 25-26)
Garrison Forest Athletics is excited to offer a fun and engaging lacrosse and soccer experience for our 1st–4th grade students!
