Extended time helps close the achievement gap

Research shows afterschool programs can have positive effects on reading and math proficiency for low-achieving students. But extended time can be wasted time if students are too burned out to learn. After a full day of class, children need the different modality that Learning Together offers – a friendly mentoring relationship with enjoyable enrichment and social activities built in.

With cross-age tutors or adult mentors, students work through an aligned curriculum that seems more like fun than work, yet has been proven to raise achievement and test scores. Let us help you find the best extended-day solution, complete with training, materials and support.

 
Maximize resources

One Reading Together or Math Together coordinator can train and monitor up to 15 tutor/tutee pairs, offering 30 children a true one-on-one experience at the price of small-group instruction. Our quality professional development reinforces best practices that teachers can bring back to the classroom, or provides the support non-educators need to run community-based programs. 

Target ESL students

Our structured tutoring programs are proven effective as an afterschool alternative for English language learners making the transition from bilingual classes. Learning Together has been extremely successful with children who have limited English or who have limited language/vocabulary/background experience.

Pick your schedule

Learning Together has experience with dozens of different implementation models, from small faith-based community programs to district-wide afterschool initiatives, from Saturday school to daily Power Hour. We can make it work for your campus.

Word of Mouth
Studies show that academic afterschool programs improve achievement, reduce grade retention and increase student attendance and interest in school. Across the country, afterschool is a key element in strategies to turn around under-performing schools.
