- After School Programs

Durfee Elementary/Middle School offers more than just classroom experience. Our after-school programs are an extension of our school's educational mission to develop the whole child.
In addition, students have the opportunity to receive focused, one-on-one or small group instruction in a positive, supportive learning environment in our staff-led after-school tutoring program. The goal is to encourage students and provide additional academic help so that all are able to achieve their highest learning potential.

City Year
We support our students at Durfee by employing City Year AmeriCorps in our 3rd - 8th grade. They serve in the schools all day, every day, preparing students with the social, emotional and academic skills and mindset to succeed in school and life.

Chess
Chess is a game and it is also STEM because of its relationship to mathematics, abstract reasoning, strategy and calculated movement. It encourages children to have that efficiency of thought. Research says chess improves scores in every subject because of critical thinking and strategic thinking.
