The Solution

Transforming the After School Day

After years of frustration with ineffective homework clubs and tutoring agencies, a group of educators collaborated to transform after school programs from babysitting services and short-term interventions to professional instruction aligned with your child’s school day and sensitive to your child’s needs. Springboard improves classroom performance, test scores and character by providing professional academic, creative, and physical support and challenge after school. In partner schools to date, Springboard successfully improves academic performance among its students, performs critical follow-up with students and families to ensure work is complete and understood, and gives parents new opportunities to communicate with teachers. All this is done in a kid-friendly environment with plenty of time for sports, games, recreation and creative activities.
