Before thefirst bell.
Yes. Our programs meet the California Quality Standards for Expanded Learning and the requirements of ASES and ELO-P. Attendance, sign-in and sign-out, ratios and reporting are handled the way the state and your district require.
A substitute is in. We keep a standby pool of twelve substitute coaches in every district, so ratios hold and a single absence never cancels a class.
Every coach clears a Department of Justice and FBI background check, holds CPR and First Aid certification, completes mandated reporter training, and finishes more than twenty hours of pre-placement training before working with a single student.
Your District Coordinator owns the relationship and the reporting. You receive monthly summaries on enrollment, attendance and quality, with the data to verify every claim we make.
Every student. We design for English learners, students with disabilities, foster youth and students experiencing homelessness, and we talk with families in Spanish and English.
With a conversation. Tell us your goals and your sites, and we walk your campuses before we propose anything. We respond to requests for proposals across California and arrive with insurance, clearances and references ready.
Our programs run at partner schools. Send us your school’s name through the form below and we’ll connect you with the coordinator at your site.
