After School Expanded Learning Program

Welcome to the After School Expanded Learning Program offered by the Dr. Lewis D. Stallworth, Sr. Charter Schools, Inc.! Since August 2011, our program has been dedicated to providing enriching opportunities for student growth and development. We are thrilled to offer the After School Program at our school, catering to students from TK to eighth grade. Our program is available every school day: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., and on Wednesday, we operate from noon to 6:00 p.m.

At Stallworth Charter School, we utilize various spaces on campus, including classrooms and our “legacy” building, to host a diverse range of engaging activities as part of our After School Program. While each program is tailored to the specific needs of its school site, they all share fundamental components that prioritize student growth and social-emotional learning. Our aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment that fosters holistic development for all our students.

Creating a safe and supportive environment is our top priority as we strive to cultivate both academic excellence and personal growth. With this objective in mind, we offer a rich array of educational and enrichment programs meticulously designed to enhance student success.

Activities

We offer a wide variety of after school enrichment programs for our students. These programs work together harmoniously, nurturing the growth and development of every student. Want to know what is happening in our After School Expanded Learning Program? Here is an example of what we do in a day:

  • Sign-In: After school dismissal, students proceed directly to the After School Expanded Learning Program to check-in, ensuring a smooth transition from their regular school day to our program. This process maintains an organized and structured environment while prioritizing safety. By having students report directly to the program, we can effectively track attendance, ensuring that all students are accounted for and promoting their safety and well-being. Additionally, it allows us to promptly address any safety concerns or emergencies that may arise as we have an accurate record of all students present in the program.
  • Homework: We recognize the importance of academic support. That’s why our After School Expanded Learning Program dedicates a minimum of 45 minutes each day to help students with their homework. Our dedicated staff and ASP tutors are available to provide individual assistance and guidance in a quiet and welcoming environment. They support students with their assignments and academic needs, ensuring that each student receives the necessary help to succeed academically. We strive to accommodate the unique learning needs of every student and foster a positive attitude towards learning.
  • Physical Activity: Our comprehensive program incorporates physical activity into our daily schedule. We believe in the holistic development of our students, which is why we dedicate 45 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day. These activities are thoughtfully designed to engage students in fun and active experiences that promote physical fitness, coordination, teamwork, and overall well-being. Our structured physical activities, including active play, sports, and exercises, are carefully planned and organized to ensure that students have the opportunity to actively participate, learn new skills, and develop their physical fitness. By providing regular physical activity, we not only offer a refreshing break for students who have been engaged in academic work all day but also foster healthy lifestyles, promote active learning, and facilitate the building of positive relationships with their peers. Our goal is to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle among our students, supporting their physical development alongside their academic and personal growth.
  • Snack: We understand the significance of proper nourishment for optimal learning, which is why we provide a light afternoon snack to every student. Our carefully selected snack options are designed to promote health and well-being, prioritizing nutritious choices that support healthy eating habits and the overall well-being of our students.
  • Enrichment and Sports Clubs: Our After School Expanded Learning Program offers a minimum of 45 minutes of daily enriching activities across various subjects, including project-based learning, literacy, and different clubs. We prioritize hands-on learning to foster creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills. Through real-world challenges and group projects, students enhance their academic knowledge and life skills. Our program integrates Volleyball Club, Chess Club, Soccer Club, Flag Football, Student Government, Boys of Honor, Power Girls, and Music Club to name a few. Our goal is to promote collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills through meaningful enrichment activities, expanding horizons, and cultivating a lifelong love for learning.
