THRIVE OPERATES AN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT HAS SMALL CLASS SIZES AND A LARGE NUMBER OF ADULTS. WE INSTILL CONSISTENT LOVING DISCIPLINE IN OUR STUDENTS SO THAT THEY CAN DEVELOP SELF-CONTROL AND LEARN TO MAKE WISE CHOICES. WE ARE ABLE TO MULTIPLY THE EFFORTS OF OUR STAFF DUE TO THE REMARKABLE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS WHO ASSIST US, OVER 150 IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR, WITH MORE THAN 90 WHO COME EVERY WEEK. WE HAVE BIBLE STUDY AND HOMEWORK HELP FOR EVERY STUDENT AND OFFER VARIOUS ELECTIVES SUCH AS BALLET, COOKING, ART, AND OUTDOOR GAMES. WE ALSO PROVIDE WEEKLY READING TUTORING. IN THE LAST YEAR, WE ENROLLED 216 STUDENTS FROM 1ST THROUGH 12TH GRADE ON THREE CAMPUSES.
THRIVE HAS A 6 WEEK SUMMER PROGRAM WHERE WE FOCUS ON ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT. WE SERVE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH EVERY DAY AND COMBINE INTENSIVE ACADEMIC WORK WITH FUN THEMES AND RECREATION. OUR STUDENTS HAVE BIBLE STUDY AND ENJOY SKITS IN THE MORNING BEFORE DOING READING AND MATH PROBLEMS TAILORED TO THEIR ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL. IN THE AFTERNOON, THEY ENJOY ELECTIVES, FIELD TRIPS AND TIME AT THE POOL. DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF OUR STUDENTS WHOSE HOUSEHOLDS ARE ESL, DEVELOPING READING COMPREHENSION CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL. MANY OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIPS TO WEEK LONG OVERNIGHT CAMPS THAT GREATLY ENRICH THEIR SUMMER. WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH A LOCAL CHURCH TO BRING VBS TO OUR STUDENTS. WE ARE BLESSED AS WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.
