Cool Kids Learn provides comprehensive summer, after-school and tutoring programs that emphasize the connection between classroom learning and “the real world.” We engage certified teachers and community volunteers to work with small groups of students, focusing on the basics of reading and math, appreciating world cultures and art, and facilitating innovative group projects. All of our programs are designed and operated to help students reach or exceed grade level performance in reading and math and come away from the experience with the knowledge that learning can be fun!

CKL operates all programs according to a deeply-held set of guiding principles:

• All students should have the opportunity to develop the full potential of their talents.
• The education and development of a child must include parent, family, and community.
• Quality instructors are the key to an effective learning experience.
• Individuality should be celebrated: diversity is a good thing!
• Out-of-school programs should compliment, not duplicate the primary work of schools in educating our youth.
• Effective out-of-school programs should be performance-oriented and impact-based.
