After School Program
After every school day, children ages 5 to 12 are escorted to the Manhattan High School from five local schools to participate in the After School Program until 6:00pm. The children enjoy a nutritious snack and a healthy balance of play, academics, and creative projects. The After School Program provides children of working parents with a safe and warm environment where they are encouraged to develop their academic, creative, and leadership skills through a project-based Learning Community (LC) design, taught by a dedicated staff.
Our younger participants focus on phonemic awareness activities, parts of speech, and print. The older participants spend more time learning and retaining vocabulary, developing creative and report writing skills, and editing.
