DISCOVER YOURSELF Discovery at Loch Raven is aimed at opening new horizons for students as they explore favorite interests, discover new talents, and engage in unique and exciting activities. Supervised by staff members, discovery programs are geared toward energetic sports enthusiasts or students who prefer a more relaxed pace. Discovery opportunities are offered to Loch Raven Academy students in the form of intramurals and clubs, which meet after school. The after school programs begin at 2:45 and end at 4:10. A 4:15 bus is available to transport students to their nearest elementary school in the Central area of the county.
