Curricular Enhancement Programs

AUSL firmly maintains that well-structured curricular enhancement programs offer valuable extended-learning opportunities for students at all of our schools. These programs cover a range of interests and include a balance of offerings ranging from academic activities to a variety of athletics. Our programs offer extended-day options for our students, which can be beneficial for both academic and social/emotional development. We have a proven commitment to these areas in our schools: music, choral, instruments, arts, drama, field trips, service learning, and athletics. Each program offers opportunities to strengthen common core values shared across our network, as well as student social/emotional learning in supportive environments.
