Beyond The Classroom, Inc.

Beyond The Classroom is an After School Enrichment Program designed to provide a safe, nurturing environment after school hours to school-aged children, K-5.  The space will give children a truly enriching experience as they will be given different opportunities to take part in several activities and classes that are increasingly left out of the normal school curriculum.  To complement the increasing emphasis on text-book based learning in schools, children at Beyond the Classroom will receive hands-on experience that is project-based and emergent in nature.  They will continue their journey in learning beyond the boundaries of the classroom and take field trips related to their projects.  Though homework is not the focus of the program, children will be given the appropriate time during the day to work on their homework.

Parents will have a space to discuss their children’s development as the program will provide monthly parent education meetings where they can discuss pertinent issues surrounding their children’s development.  Facilitated by a parent educator, parents will have the opportunity to ask questions and have conversations about topics such as setting limits, media and children, etc.
