Program Types
After-School Programs
Our after-school programs build a culture of positivity and motivation through skill-based, fun, and engaging activities in the arts, sports, and wellness — with embedded social-emotional skills development. Your child will become a better artist, athlete, and thinker.
Arts & Sports Residencies
Not every school has the option to have an after-school program. For charter schools, suspension sites, and other schools, KPP's arts-based and sports-based residencies expand creative thinking and support positive behavior through student-centered activities integrated into classroom academics. Schools are provided with talented classroom-based KPP Teaching Artists, Coaches, or both.
