Why Choose

The After School Scholar

The After School Scholar is an Academic Advancement Center for students in grades Kindergarten through 8th.  We are focused on providing a fun and caring environment after school for your child(ren) where homework is completed and checked prior to pick up time at 6:30PM.

We absolutely love helping young minds reach their full potential!  As a teacher for twenty years, I enjoyed working with students to establish good study habits and embrace learning.  Homework is an important part of a student’s learning process and often a key component of the class grade.

Completing homework accurately can take several hours and can be a challenge for today’s busy families.  Many students have extracurricular activities such as sports to manage and many parents have a work schedule to manage.

Our goal at The After School Scholar is to help provide more quality family-time at home by ensuring our students homework is complete before they leave and to provide our students with a comfortable learning environment that brings peace of mind to their parents.

Attending to the The After School Scholar program was one of my favorite places to go as a kid. At first, I was unsure of what to expect, but it quickly became one of my favorite parts of the day. Let me tell you why this program is so great and impactful in many ways.

 

First of all, the place has a huge, outdoor play area. It’s fun for both younger kids and older ones too. Whether you’re into sports, games, or just hanging out, there’s something for everyone. I remember the first time I walked into the play area and saw all the different activities going on. It was so lively and just a good environment to be in. The open space means there’s always room for everyone, and you never feel cramped or crowded.

 

Another important portion of it is the assistance with homework. I can’t even begin to explain how much it helped me. Balancing schoolwork with extracurricular activities can be tough but having a dedicated time and support to get my homework done turned out to be a game-changer. There are always teachers and older students available to help with any subject. I remember struggling with my math homework one day and feeling completely lost. I didn’t want to fall behind, so I decided to ask for help. One of the tutors sat down with me and went through the problems step by step. They were patient and explained everything in a way that made sense. I remember the homework help improved my grades and reduced my stress levels.

 

But honestly the best part of The After School Scholar was the chance to meet kids from different schools. Before joining the program, most of my friends were from my own school, and I didn’t have many opportunities to meet new people. The program brings together students from all over the area. Even after all these years I am still close with someone I met there. We go to different schools, and I doubt we would have ever met if it weren’t for the program. We even go to each other’s football games and other school events to see each other more. I met some of her friends too and it’s like having a whole new social circle, and it’s made my high school experience so much more fun.

 

In conclusion, The After School Scholar was an amazing experience for me. The big open play area, the homework help, and the opportunity to meet kids from different schools have all contributed to making it such a memorable experience. It was a place where I could relax, have fun, and grow both academically and socially. I highly recommend checking out this program. You won’t regret it!
