<p>My kids’ school (Concord) is about 50% day. The day students leave between 5:30 and 10 on school nights; many stay for dinner and leave by 7:30. The number of day students doesn’t really affect scheduling of ECs and other activities. One of the reasons the day students attend the school is precisely because of of the extra opportunities and activities it has because it’s a boarding school, and they expect that they may need to stay after dinner. There is really no difference in day/boarding participation in any activity. Many day students stay for dinner and beyond solely to hang out with their friends (both boarders and other day students).</p>
<p>The school has study hall between 7:30 and 9:30, so there are few activities planned during that time. The only one that I can actually think of at the moment is that rehearsals during tech week before a theatre production run from 6:00-10:00 pm. Day students involved in the production will typically stay overnight at school with a friend that week. The late times don’t deter day student participation; one production my kid was involved with consisted primarily of day students (not typical, that’s just how things worked out).</p>
