The mission of the Burlington Expanded Learning Opportunities program is to foster the social and academic success of Burlington youth through high quality afterschool and summer programming in an environment that creates lasting connections with peers, adults and the community.
Our committed team works everyday to support students in achieving vital outcomes such as increased academic performance, increased leadership and social skills, increased cultural and global awareness and the cultivation of a belief that they can make a difference in their community and world. Expanded learning opportunities continue to be a key strategy in closing the achievement gap, they keep kids safe, prepare them for college and careers by building 21st century skills and support working families. On any given day this school year, over 600 students across the District will be participating in an expanded learning activity, with over 1,900 participating annually.
Afterschool
Welcome to the 2018-2019 Burlington Kids Afterschool Program. We offer afterschool programming every school day after students are dismissed at either 1:50pm (Wednesdays) or 2:50pm until 5:30pm, at J.J. Flynn Elementary, C.P. Smith Elementary, Edmunds Elementary, the Sustainability Academy at Lawrence Barnes and Champlain Elementary, with the exception of early release days. We also offer programming at Edmunds and Hunt Middle Schools and Burlington High School. The efforts of many people in the District and community help to create more opportunities for more children to participate in afterschool.
Program Description
