ASPIRE
An after school program focusing on creating a culture of learning centered around our first core value, fostering the belief that all children can learn through constant support and guidance. LEARN utilizes the Capturing Kid’s Hearts Model, which holds as one of its tenets that if you capture a kid’s heart, then you capture their mind.

Core Components
By focusing on LEARN’s 5th core value, which is to support rigorous and meaningful instruction with applicable connections to the real world, LEARN works to create environments of exploration and learning through hands-on activities focused on student interests and classroom knowledge. LEARN works to understand the direction and goals of the leadership at each school. By working with school leadership, LEARN works to focus on the specific needs of each site.

Enrichment focused on College-Career Awareness
As an educational agency focused on post-secondary success of students and families, LEARN’s ASPIRE Program weaves a curriculum of College Access and Career Awareness throughout the school year curriculum. This is done through ASPIRE’s Keys to College Program which is a curriculum developed for 4th to 8th grade focusing on age appropriate themes around college readiness and career awareness and most importantly, making connections with interests and post secondary endeavors. This curriculum is in full implementation at the El Monte City School District. LEARN is also a partner organization through a grant from Southern California Edison in the Parents as Partners college access initiative that educates and helps parents navigate the road to college for their children skills.
