Program – written by MSAD 20, 21st Century Program

The 21st Century After School program provides a range of high-quality services to support student learning and development. The program is comprised of three focus areas: academic, cultural and physical. Tutoring, mentoring, homework help and academic enrichment is conducted during an academic focus period. The cultural focus includes creative and performing arts projects, science and technology programs, as well as nature exploration, team building and problem solving experiences. In keeping with the Town of Fort Fairfield’s philosophy to promote healthy living, the physical activity focus introduces students to a wide range of non-competitive leisure activities including but not limited to swimming, hiking, biking, skiing, skating and kayaking.

For parents and guardians, the 21st Century program provides an enriching, safe environment for students during crucial after school hours.
