The Weekend Club Program offers two core classes on Saturdays, from 9 AM-12 PM.

1. ELA & MATH Enrichment or Reinforcement Class (EMC) 

1. • Grades: Kindergarten to 2nd grade, as well as English Language Learner (ELL) students in grades 1-6

   • The class objective is to equip every student with the necessary tools to improve their academic abilities, particularly in reading, writing, and math, per the NYS standard. We prioritize reinforcing fundamental reading skills through the science of reading approach, focusing on phonemic awareness - the ability to identify, manipulate, and comprehend individual sounds. Our resources are customized to meet the specific needs of each student, aligning with NYS Learning Standards. Furthermore, our program emphasizes instilling positive ethical values and character development to boost students' internal confidence and motivation.

   • Large numbers of elementary school students fail to achieve grade-level proficiency in reading and mathematics. In the 2023-24 academic year, NYC launched NYC Reads, a comprehensive reading program integrated into the elementary school curriculum to foster proficient reading skills among all students in New York City. The program offers high-caliber reading education for pre-K and elementary school students, emphasizing critical areas like phonics and lexical understanding. NYC Reads is underpinned by the science of reading methodology.

 2. Statewide Test-Prep Class (NYSTP)

1. • Grades 3-8 (ELA & MATH ONLY)

   • The class aims to help students succeed by providing expert guidance, helpful test-taking tips, and the support they need to achieve high grades and test scores. We carefully choose study materials that follow the New York State Standard (Performance Coach Overview). For each class or session, we choose relevant topics and lessons that match the state assessment requirements outlined in the educator's test guide manuals provided by the Department of Education. Most lessons will be taught in the fall term, and practice tests will start in the spring term. 

   • The compulsory annual statewide assessment is mandatory for public school students in grades 3 through 8. Thorough documentation is crucial for qualification for advanced programs at esteemed educational institutions. Performance in these assessments significantly impacts middle school outcomes and lays the foundation for high school and college readiness, ultimately preparing students for the challenges of higher education and beyond. Developing proficient skills and becoming acquainted with test questions enhances students' confidence when sitting for the actual exam. Over time, numerous fifth graders from our program have gained admission to prestigious middle school programs in Brooklyn and New York City.

我们的周末班课程提供阅读、写作和数学强化课程或纽约州考试准备。课程采用小组教学方式进行。这种教学方法使我们的导师能够在特定的学习目标上与每个学生更密切地合作，强化在学校整个小组教学中学到的技能，并检查学生的理解情况。

小组教学让学生得到导师更多的集中注意力，并有机会就他们所学的内容提出具体问题。导师和学生共同努力培养学术技能并解决具有挑战性的领域，帮助学生为作业、测试和考试做好准备。
