Santa Barbara Charter School After School Program

Santa Barbara Charter School After School Program

The SBCS ASP for the 2019-20 school year begins Monday, August 19, 2019

Welcome

Hello everyone! As our new school year gets underway, we are thrilled to inform you that we will be merging the After School Program and Homework Club program into one After School Program (ASP) with two co-directors: Ginnie Volovick and Rebecca Herrera.  

We are integrating the two programs so that we can better serve the students and their families.  This way, we will have one central location for all after school programming, as well as create a more comprehensive and consistent service for families.  We will continue to offer homework and tutoring assistance, there will still be free play time, after school sports programs, and after school enrichment offerings from outside providers. 

All your fabulous staff are returning to SBCS, and we are thrilled to bring you this improved service, with NO ADDITIONAL COSTS. We will continue to be able to provide scholarships to any student who has a financial need (based on the free/reduced lunch program application.)  We will have before-school care from 7:15-8:15 Monday through Friday, and will be open for student care until 5:30pm each day.

Lastly, we will be enrolling all students through this website for the After School Program.  This includes enrollment in the homework club, sports, and enrichment options.  If you have any questions or concerns, please email or phone Ginnie and Rebecca:  Contact Number: (805) 729-2152, SBCSASP@gmail.com

Testimonials

Our son is already talking about what he will do for the school’s science fair this spring

Our son loves science. He has been given a materials-base learning curriculum that has allowed him to pursue his love for scientific reasoning and analysis. He is already talking about what he will do for the school’s science fair this spring. In a recent art lesson about the Scottish artist, Andy Goldsworthy, famous for his sculptures and land-art situated in natural and urban settings, my son remembered he has seen Mr. Goldsworthy’s art before in a book. When asked what he noticed about Mr. Goldsworthy’s sculptures, he said, “He uses proprieties of nature like gravity, weather, and space to make his art.” I was working in the classroom that day and was so thankful for a lesson that allowed him to see the complexities of art and how it required an understanding of other disciplines in order to be successful.
