Our academically-based afterschool programs (grades 1-6) use learning as a platform for social-emotional development and personal growth. STEM-based inquiry, hands-on learning, enrichment clubs, language and literacy support, and targeted tutoring combine in a holistic, safe, supportive setting.

Programs are staffed by certified teachers, occur 2-3 days per week, provide 84-175 additional learning hours, and target and measure academic and social-emotional skill development.

Our Summer Learning programs provide more than 450 students with holistic, full-day programming infused with inquiry, language and literacy support, and STEM. Programs create enriching experiences, community connections, and prevent achievement gaps caused by summer learning loss. Summer learners are engaged with exciting themes which provide channels and contexts for students to delve deep into learning.

Four or six-week programs for up to 120 students are staffed by certified teachers, include transportation and field trips, and target and measure academic and social-emotional skill development.

Academic Coaches, all certified teachers and reading specialists, partner with classroom teachers to provide small-group reading intervention services.

Family Navigation is a free and voluntary program designed to support you in order for you to support your child’s success at home, in the community, and at school. Typically, you would work with a navigator for about 12 months. You would work with a navigator one-on-one. Together, you would connect to community resources to address challenges that may be getting in the way of your ability to focus on supporting your child’s academic success. Family Navigation offers a variety of whole family events. These activities can help you get to know other families in your child’s school community. These events might include cooking classes, zoo outings, ice skating get togethers, RMCS trips, Red Wings games, drive-in movie nights and even overnight camping trips.
