Oakridge Neighborhood: A 21st Century Learning Center (K-12th Grade)

Oakridge Neighborhood is a designated 21st Century Community Learning Center, providing a much needed source of support for youth through a continuum of K-12 afterschool and out-of-school programming that focuses on the academic, social, emotional and enrichment needs of students. Programming includes the use of evidenced-based academic support, educational enrichment, parent engagement, and family literacy activities, and focuses on improving academic outcomes and performance in the core areas of reading, math and science.

All Oakridge 21st CCLC programming is aligned with classroom instruction using evidenced-based academic supports and interventions with licensed teachers retained to provide the academic components of the program. The program partners with neighborhood elementary and regional middle and high schools serving the students that reside in and around Oakridge Neighborhood.

Program data reveals that participation in Oakridge afterschool and out-of-school programs positively influences academic outcomes. Better grades, better attitudes toward school, higher school attendance rates, lower tardiness rates, deeper engagement in learning and higher graduation rates have all been recorded.
