After School Program (ASP)
The Blacksburg New School offers a state-licensed after school program for the convenience of current and alumni families. The school also offers several extracurricular activities, depending upon student demand and availability of instructor or parent sponsor.
After School Program Director: T.J. Stone.
This state-licensed program runs from 3:45-5:45 each weekday. Staff members include BNS faculty members and students from the Virginia Tech.
