Learning and Exploring at Play
LEAP is an exciting learning opportunity for kindergarten through 5th grade city school students. This literacy and math enrichment program provides an active, creative, flexible, and open learning environment for children LEAP sessions take place during the school year on Saturday mornings from 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at LeChase Hall on the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é campus. During these sessions the children work with ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é student employees serving as tutors. Emphasis is placed on developing the literacy, math, science, and social skills necessary to succeed in school through play-based learning.
While participating in LEAP, tutors are encouraged to develop teaching and leadership skills, new perspectives on education, awareness and interest in the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é community, and additional insight into their own paths and values. Tutors complete extensive training throughout the year to help facilitate these goals.
For the 2024/2025 school year we will collaborate with the at Allendale Columbia school. This partnership will improve the opportunity for both our elementary learners and undergraduate tutors.
