Six Components PDF Print E-mail
The After-School All-Stars has six different, yet related, components, each led by a certified teacher selected by the Middle School principals:
  • Academic Remediation and Enrichment (tutorial, homework, research, Media Center, math & science)
  • Sports & Recreation (golf, tennis, gymnastics, chess, outdoor education, wellness and nutrition)
  • Career Development (career prep success, Junior Achievement, mentoring, job shadowing, student leadership, oratory skills)
  • Technology (MIRACLES and Dallas Austin Recording Studios) http://www.miracles.org/
  • Cultural Erichment (art, dance, music)
  • Parental Involvement

Academic remediation and enrichment is more than homework assistance and tutoring.  While it does provide a time for the students to receive help with homework assignments, the after-school program enriches that experience through  individual and one-on-one instruction by a certified teacher.  Sports and recreation includes both traditional and  non-traditional exposures to individual and team play.  Carrying on the tradition of the Inner-City Games, good  sportsmanship is always a top priority.  Young people (even in the middle schools) need to be exposd to a number of  career choices.  Students in the after school program have in-job shadowing, mentoring, improved oratory skills, and other career development programs 

In this electronic age, children in the after school program are given instruction in a wide variety of technologie, ranging from electronics to web design.  A unique program developed for the After-School All-Stars is MIRACLES.  In cooperation with Dallas Austin Recording Projects,  a fully equipped and operational  professional recording studio is available for students to not only perform in, but to learn the unique engineering  skills of professional recording studios.
