ExpandED Schools, Inc. is a national nonprofit dedicated to closing the learning gap by increasing access to enriched education experiences. In school, after school and during the summer – whether through literacy initiatives, the arts, physical fitness or hands-on STEM experiences – we seek to ensure that all kids have opportunities to discover their talents and develop their full potential. In 1998, we were founded as The After-School Corporation (TASC) and set out to create the nation’s first citywide system of K-12 after-school programs. Today – 17 years and more than 800,000 kids later – we are forging new ground in reimagining learning time. We work within public schools to expand the day, engage the community and enhance the learning. Students in ExpandED Schools get 35% more learning at only 10% more cost, outpace citywide* gains in academics, and show significant growth in all eight social-emotional competencies of the Character Growth Card. Our schools have increased attendance at double the rate of schools citywide and surpassed the citywide average on all measures of school climate four years in a row. (*New York City)
