acac would like to help our families fill the void in education this fall that the pandemic has presented for your children. We know that we cannot replicate the experience of being in school full time but we want to help families that need a trusted partner to assist with their Elementary and Middle School student鈥檚 education. We have been actively developing our plan to partner with you and to stay responsive to the changing expectations you are all receiving from your children鈥檚 schools and teachers.
Informed by our medical director, architect, and academic consultant; our educational support program is designed to exceed state guidelines so that we may safely provide space for your children to engage in their remote learning plans while leveraging the incredible facilities at acac West Chester and acac Eagleview. Based on your survey feedback and the additional inquiries we鈥檝e made, we understand that you are looking for a teammate to manage the daily demands of academic work and distance learning that your children鈥檚 traditional school programs are offering. At the same time, you are looking for sustained engagement that will offer your children interaction, creativity, physical exercise, and socio-emotional development.
In addition to the excellence you鈥檝e come to expect from acac, our educational support program will offer:
- Staggered arrival/pick up times to promote distancing
- Wellness scans upon arrival
- Connectivity for your children鈥檚 devices
- Support to navigate synchronous sessions with your children鈥檚 teachers
- Structured time to facilitate schoolwork completion and alleviate evening homework
- Design and layout to promote safe interaction and personal supplies
- Daily activities that reinforce developmental acceleration and inspire cognitive stimulation
- Optional tutoring
To secure space for your children, complete the registration via the link below. We have a very limited capacity. The first 100 registrations will be accepted at acac West Chester. acac Eagleview will accept the first 56 registrations. At that point the program will be full. More capacity may be added at a later date at both locations. If you are not able to register 鈥� please email [email protected] to be added to the waiting list.
The program will begin at 7:00am and end at 6:00pm. Parents are welcome to pick up their students after their school day ends.
This program will cost $300.00 per week per student for acac members and $330.00 per week for non-members. It will be billed in weekly increments. This is only available as a commitment to the first ten weeks of the school year in order to limit the number of students within the space. The health and safety of everyone is our top priority.
The space at West Chester鈥檚 Adventure Central arena will be divided into pods. Each pod will have 12-16 students along with Pod Advisors. Based on CDC guidelines and in consultation with our medical director, pods of students will function independently. When pods transition between spaces, the program schedule ensures that no two groups are in the same space at the same time. Appropriate cleaning and disinfecting procedures are in place throughout the day for our program participants, their pod spaces, and all shared areas.
Thank you for trusting us to team up with you and meet your family鈥檚 needs for your children. We look forward to welcoming you and to starting the academic year with purpose and partnership!
