Sera Learning After School Program

We are dedicated to empowering young people to grow intellectually, morally, and academically, and to become agents of positive change in their communities.

Sera Learning seeks to assist youth to live coherent lives- to excel at school, at home and in the community. Naturally many matters occupy the time of a young person: education, work, leisure, physical health, family life. When they excel in all these areas, they are better able to build the capabilities necessary to live a fruitful and rewarding life dedicated to an animated by service to their communities.

SCHOOL 

Sera Learning seeks to enhance the intellectual abilities of young people as they enter middle school and continue through their high school studies. Particular attention is given to building capacity for language, mathematics, and science. Attention is also given to developing the habits of an orderly mind; to be able to plan and prioritize, to focus and avoid distraction, among others.

Objective: engender a love for learning and strengthen foundational skills in language and mathematics.

Our approach: one-on-one tutoring that aims to strengthen understanding of mathematical concepts, to see the usefulness and necessity of mathematics, strengthen ability to problem solve, and develop attitudes and habits of disciplined effort required for long‑term academic growth. Language development is also central, as the abilitiy to read, write, and communicated with clarity underpins every aspect of learning and enables young people to express insights, engage in diologue, and contribute thoughtfully to community life.

FAMILY 

Families are the cornerstone of our community. We believe that in order to build a united community attention must be given to the progress of the family unit. Youth have an important role to play in this regard. That being said, the after school program aims to work with families to support the progress of the students and will give attention to supporting them to be of service to their families. 

COMMUNITY

Young people aspire for spiritual and intellectual growth and to make a contribution to the betterment of the world. Sera Learning’s after school program will employ the materials of the junior youth spiritual empowerment program in order to assist students to develop the capacities to serve their communities. Students will also be assisted to apply the concepts they are learning in school to practical projects within the neighbourhood. 

Materials: the program draws on a sequence of materials designed to develop strong language skills, enhance comprehension, and strengthen the ability to articulate ideas with clarity and eloquence. Some texts explore mathematical concepts and social issues, while others introduce scientific approaches to investigating reality. Across all materials, emphasis is placed on cultivating attitudes and moral concepts that guide young people as they mature into adults and active participants in society.
