Studies have shown that children who are involved in after-school clubs and other activities, strengthen social skills, improve academic performance, and benefit from establishing stronger relationships with caring adults. Participation in after-school programs has been known to build confidence, thereby increasing self-esteem. It has also been shown that students who are regularly engaged in high-quality, after-school programs are more attentive in class and more focused on their work.

Triangle Chess for 2nd-5th GradersTriangle Chess is introducing chess to youth; we help kids achieve more through chess. Chess gives kids confidence that carries over into many other pursuits. Reading and math skills of children who play chess consistently soar. Their social skills increase substantially with respect to playing fairly, courage facing difficult situations or opponents, and the patience needed for exceptional timing.For more information about the cost and meeting times, go to: www.trianglechess.com > In School > Join a Team |
Stem ClubSTEM Clubs are all the rage today throughout the country. They not only spark students’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), they involve them in a wide variety of projects. They differ from traditional math and science clubs in that they incorporate all four subjects thereby allowing a wider range of challenging activities. The activities also provide students an alternative method of learning that promotes better understanding of concepts being taught in class. They also provide alternative learning methods that can reach students who normally would struggle with these subjects. |
Spanish ClubFor Sterling Academy students only, this club is a great way to introduce your child to language. Learning language from a young age should be a fun experience and, by listening and learning, your child will pick up the material in no time. Your child will learn days of the week, animals, colors, seasons, numbers, and more. |
