Exploring the Possibilities!

The purpose of the blog is to provide additional support to educators as well as parents and community members who wish to create schools which will provide children with the experiences needed to flourish!

The United States ranks first among industrialized countries in the number of persons incarcerated - the result of what the Children's Defense Fund calls the "cradle to prison pipeline."  In California, we spend $8,486 a year educating a high school student, while we spend $234,029 a year incarcerating one inmate in the state's youth prison system.1

After School programs are very much needed - 18 million children in the United States do not have access to these programs, many of whom are "latch-key kids".  After School programs are of great value to the student, parents/caregivers, the community and the school.

These programs offer you the opportunity to create spectacular learning and life experiences for your students that just cannot be fitted into the regular school day! Read more here . . .  and register a team today!  It's easy - just send us an email or call us to register your After School Team for this online course.


While our online courses are meant to be self-directed and independent, we do offer up to 3 hours (per team) of support via email, phone, Skype to Google Hangouts.  We can also review your progress by viewing your assignment/plans on Google Docs and offer feedback.  Additional virtual support is available at a rate of $250/hour.  Session minimum is one hour.
