2010-2011 Academic & Enrichment Program
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.
