Academy of Arts and Knowledge | Community Learning Center

We are a K - 5 Charter school that offers to bridge the gap between economic status and opportunities. We have been able to serve our community for the last two years and hope to continue this incredible opportunity for years to come.

THE AAK COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER IS OPEN TO ALL AAK STUDENTS! The Community Learning Center (CLC) at The Academy of Arts and Knowledge offers FREE before, after, and out-of-school academic enrichment opportunities for all families enrolled at AAK. We utilize the school space, when school is not in session, to offer academic support and enrichment, music and arts programming, family and civic engagement opportunities, health and wellness activities! The Center is currently funded by a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant with five main goals: Increase median growth in reading and math: The Center is staffed by professionals who embed intentional learning objectives into fun activities that enrich and support our overall learning environment. Increase essential success skills: CLC staff offers activities that encourage and support “character” development as a lifelong success skill. Participants engage in various activities and situations in which they learn appropriate interpersonal communication, personal responsibility, and decision-making skills. Increase school attendance: Entertaining and engaging activities are intentionally designed to encourage good attendance. Increase positive behaviors: By focusing on structured engaging activities and character education, students are typically more eager to engage in positive behaviors at school and carry those attributes into their homes. Increase family engagement: We truly exist to serve our students AND families. Look for monthly events that include our families. Current considerations include family game nights, parenting classes, language classes, music and drama performances, cooking demonstrations, and homework help for parents.
