Afterschool ELA and Math Academies

Is your student reading below grade level? Struggling with Math? Our afterschool ELA and Math Academies could help. Taught by our amazing teachers in a small group setting, students gain vital Math and ELA skills to help them during the regular school day. The program includes specific connections to the English Language Development standards with supports for English learners in speaking, reading, writing, and phonics. Currently, we are active in Paso Robles, Guadalupe, and Lompoc. In addition to academic support, students also have opportunities to celebrate their cultural heritage, build strong friendships, and have fun!

Instructional Tutoring (In-person and Virtual)

To support our students academically, we offer virtual bilingual tutoring services. Currently, virtual sessions meet via Zoom on Mondays and Fridays from 5-6pm for grades 4-8. Contact us for more information!

Fall Virtual Math Academy

Math is a frightening word for many students (and parents!). To help build Mathematic confidence and skill in 6th-10th grade students, we once again will be partnering with our friends at United We Lead Foundation to host Fall Math Academy from Oct. 10 through Dec. 12. ¡Vámonos!

Saturday Virtual ELA and Math Academy

Along with our friends at STEM Center USA, we're excited to offer Math and ELA classes via Zoom for grades K-10 starting Sept. 26 and running Saturdays through the school year. Focusing on applied Mathematics, students complete hands-on projects and learn about Latino/a mathematicians, scientists, writers, and artists. Older students get the chance to learn about coding, robotics, and video game design! These classes are popular each year and space fills up fast.

Family Biliteracy / Preschool Academies

The Family Biliteracy program is a twelve-session course, which brings parents and their preschool-age children together to participate in literacy and academic learning activities in preparation for kindergarten. With the goal that families will continue to work on the skills learned in class, they will receive copies of the bilingual books used in class along with a family project take-home kit for each book. In this class, bilingualism is celebrated!

Emotional CPR (eCPR) Sessions

Stress. Anxiety. Depression. Isolation. The pandemic has taken a huge toll on our social and emotional well-being. Fortunately, we're partnering with several community organizations to support you including local mental health expert Erica Ruvalcaba to provide eCPR sessions for middle and high school students across SLO and SB counties. Contact us to find out more!

Speech and Debate

Do you want to conquer your fear of speaking in front of others in a safe and supportive environment? Do you enjoy a good debate? Are you in grades 6-12? Speech and Debate may be for you! In this afterschool program we'll focus on:

Learning the procedures of competitive debate;
The basics of effective research and finding solid evidence;
Practicing our reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills;
Becoming more organized;
Working competitively as a team;
Having fun and deepening friendships! 😁😁😁

Our Regional Tournament will be in March on campus at Cal Poly, SLO. Winners will advance to the State Speech and Debate Tournament in Monterey, CA in May 2027.

Social Emotional Learning via Music

Life is incredibly stressful. This program invites students to learn positive ways to process negative emotions through the healing power of music. Students learn the foundations of music theory along with positive skills to support social and emotional well being. This year, we offer the service to middle school students in Nipomo and Orcutt.

😎👇Upcoming Summer 2027 Programs 👇😎

Cal Poly Math Academy

Each summer, our local migrant middle and high school students are invited for a week of hands-on Math learning on the beautiful Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo campus. During the week, students are challenged to experiment, problem-solve, collaborate, and build as they complete various Math challenges that help them see real-world examples of Mathematical concepts. They also participate in various team-building activities designed to grow them as leaders. When the week wraps up, students emerge with sharper Math and leadership skills, a vision of life on a university campus, and a bunch of new friends! Stay tuned for upcoming summer dates.

Summer Virtual Preschool Academies

Similar to our Preschool Academy during the regular school year, this program supports 3-5 year olds and their families. Through song, art projects, and reading bilingual books, young students gain skills they'll need for Kindergarten. Families will be provided with all materials needed for this fun and exciting class.

Summer Parenting Workshops

This summer, the focus is on parents of K-6 students and helping them support their children develop as readers. Reading is a foundational skill tied to success in all the other subjects, and many parents struggle with how to motivate their young ones to become confident readers. Join us this June for three Friday sessions on this vital topic!
