CAPE After School: Waters Elementary and North-Grand High School
Come on a quick after school field trip to Waters Elementary and North-Grand High School, two sites of many CAPE After School Programs provided free for students thanks to your support.
CAPE after school (also known as “Supporting Communities through Arts Learning Environments,” or SCALE) re-envisions and activates the school as a site for arts, learning, and for family and community members. CAPE’s SCALE after-school program partners teaching artists with teachers to develop an original curriculum that supports project-based arts-integrated learning. As a laboratory for in-school learning, after-school students weave academic and social emotional learning with various art disciplines and teachers are able to experiment with academic content and pedagogical strategies.
