​Greyfriars Student Life

Having a university-style class schedule allows students to pursue extracurricular pursuits outside of class. Students at Greyfriars pursue a wide range of extracurricular activities and social opportunities. 

​Snack Shack & Socials

Each month students enjoy social time outside of the classroom: Snack Shacks and Socials. Snack Shack takes place one Friday each month. Students enjoy fun and fellowship at a locate eatery from 2:30 to 3:30 pm. Socials each month are organized by a parent. In the past, students have enjoyed activities such as but certainly not limited to -
  • corn mazes
  • ice skating
  • swing dancing
  • ultimate frisbee
  • Thanksgiving Feast
  • Christmas Party
  • Operation Christmas Child at Samaritan's Purse

​Clubs & Intramural Sports

The Yearbook Crew work throughout the year to produce the Greyfriars yearbook.

Greyfriars Sports & Recreation program at Greyfriars is an opportunity for students to participate in a Fall Semester & a Spring Semester sports program. The Fall Semester will focus on Soccer & Ultimate Frisbee, while the Spring Semester will focus on Basketball & Flag Football. Each sport will include practice/instruction and a game/tournament.

​Chapel & Prayer Time

​Each Friday students gather to sing praises to God and hear the word preached by the headmaster, local pastors, and RTS students. This past year, students on the Chapel Music Team provided musical accompaniment.

Students also planned and organized time before school to gather together to pray for the day, one another and for other pressing needs.

Junior-Senior ​Luncheon & Formal


​Each spring, the juniors and seniors participate in a "Formal" lunch. It is in essence a practice for the Jr./Sr. Formal.  Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Trice, and Mrs. Lawing teach students informally about the protocol and etiquette of formal events in preparation for the Formal.  Students learn the formalities of table etiquette, escorting a lady, etc., while enjoying a delicious dinner-type meal.  


The Jr./Sr. Formal is a formal dinner with an evening of swing dancing. ​
