​
Each day, children participate in age-appropriate activities that enhance skill attainment and, ultimately, academic enrichment. Students are in a social
learning environment where they learn critical skills that will
serve them for a lifetime.
In addition to academic and homework assistance, our educators teach students personal and character development, goal setting, and financial literacy. This program also teaches teens about college and career readiness. Students hear from guest speakers, participate in events, and more.
​
As with all of our programs, families are a crucial part of our team.
Parents and students set goals and work with our staff to remove any
barriers that may stand in the way, setting everyone up to succeed.
