A World of Possibilities

THE DANGER ZONE: Over 30% of America’s youth are home alone during the school year from 3:00 to 6:00PM, and during the summer months for an average of 10 hours per day.

After-School Program

Our After-School Program is offered from 3:00 to 6:00PM Monday through Thursday, a time when many students would otherwise be home alone while parents are at work. At Inspiring Minds, students can work in a happy, safe and structured environment that includes personalized tutoring, workshops, and the encouragement they need to become the next generation of leaders.

Summer Enrichment Program

Our Summer Enrichment Program runs from 8:00AM to 4:00PM Monday through Friday. It includes a combination of fun activities focused on academics, sports, health and new experiences. Students retain knowledge they would typically lose during the summer off from school, in a safe environment surrounded by positive role models that can lead them to a promising future.
