A generous grant has helped advance the dream of Campus Clubs officials, leading to an expansion of educational programs that soon will reach at-risk Macon, Georgia, middle school and high school students.
Academic enrichment in core content areas and a full-time dropout-prevention program are being implemented for sixth through 12th graders in recently renovated classrooms at Strong Tower Fellowship Church. An open house and ribbon cutting were scheduled for Wednesday, February 17, 2010.
Community Health Foundation awarded a grant to Campus Clubs to start the educational program, which picks up where the organization’s elementary after-school enrichment program leaves off. The new program will be open from 4-7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Campus Clubs Executive Director Tony Lowden says the goal is to provide a safe environment where students can reach their full potential through leading-edge, technology-based, hands-on curriculum provided by Pitsco Education.
“We aim to help shape well-rounded young men and women and prepare them for productive lives and careers in Macon and the surrounding area,” Lowden said.
Initially, the after-school program will feature Pitsco Education curriculum and activities including Health Science, a Star Reading and Robots Program™, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Earth Science, Biology, and Robotics. A full-time Star Academy Program for dropout-prevention and acceleration is also slated to be implemented in the near future.
