De Anza Expanded Learning Program

The Afterschool program is a free after-school program offered to San Jacinto Unified School District (SJUSD) K-8 students. The program is designed to provide a safe, structured, engaging, and academically enriching after-school environment for students in grades K-8 through critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, and social-emotional learning supports. Our goal is to be an engaging extension to the regular school day, building student success, self-esteem, connectedness, and equity. 

Research states that students who attend an afterschool program show statistically significant improvement in connection to the school, academic learning, boost attendance, and supports the acquisition of foundational skills. Afterschool Alliance Research.

The Afterschool program is provided free to all participating students, thanks to the California Department of Education’s After-School Education and Safety (ASES) and Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) grants. The Afterschool program is a collaboration between SJUSD, parents, and several community organizations including Think Together, Valley-Wide Parks and Recreation, Diamond Valley Arts Council, Making Musica, Sports for Learning, and STEM to the Future.

The afterschool program operates every school day from the dismissal of the regular school day (full day or minimum day) until 6:00 pm.

The Afterschool program offers the following activities:

• A nutritious snack
• A dedicated homework time
• Academic and social enrichment activities
• STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) Project-based learning
