The Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf offers an Extended Day Program (EDP) for student-athletes in grades 6–12 (up to age 18). The program is available Monday through Thursday, 3:00–5:30 p.m., and participation is coordinated through the student's sending district case manager.

Designed to support student-athletes during breaks in their athletic seasons, the Extended Day Program provides consistent academic support throughout the school year in a safe, inclusive, and language-rich environment. Students receive individualized instruction while strengthening the academic, organizational, and social skills needed for success in school and beyond.
