Extra Skills Practice On Their Own Accord
Students have so much fun answering skills practice questions and playing sports video
games in Kid's College, they are using the program before and after school hours on their
own accord! Whether in a before or after school program or in the home, Kid's College enriches
students' free time with fun and learning.
After school hours in particular are a critical time for today's youth, who can face
a number of social challenges and decision-making situations between the ringing of the dismissal
bell and the time their parents return home from work. 21st Century Community Learning Centers,
Boys & Girls Clubs and other programs aim to provide safe and educationally enriching alternatives
for youth during nonschool hours.
Kid's College adaptive curriculum implemented in these programs enables every youth to achieve
academic success, so they are motivated to stay in school, stay out of danger and stay motivated for
their futures. Before and after school hours are also the perfect time for youth to turn up the competition
with their peers in Kid's College high score contests.
