Safe and Productive Learning Afterschool Environment
CORAL AfterSchool ProgramCORAL provides a safe and productive learning environment during the afterschool hours, when juvenile crime and substance abuse can peak. Students in quality afterschool programs have better academic performance, behavior, and school attendance and greater expectations for the future. The CORAL program is an extension of the school day, held until 6 pm every day school is in session. Students receive a free healthy snack, 60 minutes of homework help, and 60 minutes of balanced literacy instruction as well as enrichment opportunities like sports leagues, field trips, and science and art clubs. The program is entirely secular, neutral, and non-ideological.
