[quote=Anonymous]BASIS DC STARS Program
Scholarship, Teamwork, and Academic Readiness Skills

The STARS program will provide Washington, DC students with focused and intensive extra help after school. We are determined to improve the state of education in the District by working with under-served and at-risk students interested in growing their foundational knowledge. By working with students in small groups, focusing on content mastery, and introducing successful study skills, we build a strong academic framework in math, reading, and communications which students can use throughout their academic careers. As a supplement to their education, we use songwriting, performance, and other creative methods of teaching as tools which reinforce essential classroom techniques. The result is a program which teaches students the academic knowledge, organizational skills, and teamwork necessary to be successful in school and in life, while also fostering the belief that education is exciting, rewarding, and worthwhile.

STARS program will run after school from February until June. Students who enroll will get at least three hours of academic exploration each week, and the program will culminate in a celebratory project week, where students present what they’ve learned to the BASIS DC STARS community. Specific information about dates, times, and enrollment will be posted here soon.[/quote]
