Mission
We are committed to ensuring that students develop their potential as lifelong learners by providing meaningful, student-centered learning experiences through innovative enrichment activities and high quality standards-based academic support.
Program Elements
The ASES Grant requires that all grantees provide a program which is aligned with, and not be a repeat of, the content of the regular school day and other expanded learning opportunities in a safe physical and emotional environment. After school programs in Compton Unified School District consists of three essential components.
- ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT: In addition to receiving tutorial opportunities by CUSD teachers, students who are enrolled in the Compton Unified School District ASES Program also receive supplemental instruction in one or more of the core academic subjects (reading, language arts, mathematics, history, social studies, or science) Each lesson is designed to reinforce previously introduced skills.
- PROJECT BASED ENRICHMENT: Students are exposed to teaching that is active, collaborative, and meaningful through long-term group projects aimed at building, self-esteem through cooperative groups. Each project is intended to offer students an opportunity to expand their knowledge on a specified topic through visual and performing arts. At the conclusion of each five to seven week thematic unit, students will have an opportunity to showcase their newly found skills to district, parents, guardians, and community members through a school-wide student showcase.
- HOMEWORK ASSISTANCE: Children will have an opportunity to start/complete assigned homework in accordance with CUSD grade level guidelines on appropriate homework time increments. The after school program does not guarantee that all homework will be completed.
