Welcome to Extended Learning

The Extended Learning Program is dedicated to providing a safe after-school educational enrichment, and youth development program for students in grades first through eighth.  With a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Performing Arts, Academy Specialists engage students in learning through an appealing and student-centered curriculum, which includes robotics, agriculture, theatre, mariachi history and performance, computer coding, and more.  Future generations of engineers, programmers, coders, architects, screenwriters, and more can be found here.  As students explore the scientific concepts of motion or compare algorithms, the dynamic learning environment also provides homework assistance and tutoring support.
