CONNECTIONS

Croton Academy of Arts after school enrichment program     Winter 2013

Join us for our unique approach to after school programs focused on children and young teens (grades 5-8). CONNECTIONS will offer a safe and creative environment while also providing academic support and enrichment.

CONNECTIONS is open from 3pm – 6pm (pick-up available until 6:30pm on an individual basis with prior notification), 5 days a week.

We look forward to sharing CONNECTIONS with you! Programs in the arts develop:

• Confidence
• Public speaking skills
• Problem solving
• Social skills
• Focusing & Listening
• Tolerance
• Imagination

“Youth who participate in after-school programs improve significantly in three major areas: feelings, indicators of behavioral adjustment, and school performance. More specifically, after-school programs succeeded in improving youths' feelings of self-confidence and self-esteem, school bonding (positive feelings and attitudes toward school), positive social behaviors, school grades and achievement test scores.”
2007 study by the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning, by Joseph A Durlak, Loyola University, Chicago and Roger P. Weissberg, University of Illinois, Chicago.
