The Character Center for Kids will conduct an intensive after-school enhancement program for the 2010 -2011 school year. Program hours are Monday through Friday from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. We are located at 129 Century Park Drive, directly across from the Tallahassee Community College softball field. The cost is $55 per week. A $50 non-refundable registration fee is required.

School year activities focus on intensive academic study to prepare students for the academic school year, character-building, and enrichment activities. Academic instruction will include:

Reading & Writing: phonics, spelling, vocabulary, reading, comprehension, effective listening, grammar, and sentence and paragraph structure.

Math: basic computation, fractions, problem solving, measurement, and equations.

Individualized academic plans of study ( based upon an academic assessment).

Character-building activities will be incorporated into daily activities (through the B.E.A.V.E.R. curriculum) to teach students:

To Believe in themselves
How to take care and appreciate their Environment
Appropriate Appearance
Values (honesty and integrity)
Economics (saving for the future)
Respect (themselves and others)

Enrichment activities will include piano and violin lessons, art instruction, karate, theatre, etiquette and obesity training as well as behavior modification.
