FORWARD LEARNING SCHOLARS
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Monday – Thursday 3:00-5:30 | Wednesday 1:30-5:30
The Space’s Forward Learning Scholars program provides 6th-8th grade students with a healthy, safe after-school academic environment where students can discover their learning power. The staff supports students to develop a curiosity about learning, apply and practice the skills they learn in school, and work through the challenges that lead to growth. The FLS program fosters consistent, positive relationships between staff and peers, allowing students to develop a sense of belonging and academic well-being. The FLS program also connects students to opportunities beyond both the classroom and The Space, allowing them to enhance their learning with additional experiences and develop new interests.
