ExCEL After School Programs Link to this section
ExCEL After School and summer programs are offered in all in all elementary, TK-8 and middle schools. The programs are funded by the California Department of Education and align with state and federal expanded learning program requirements. Enrollment is required to participate, and space may be limited.
Priority enrollment is given to focal students (identified by the state's Expanding Learning Opportunities Program funding ELO-P).
SFUSD High Schools offer a range of after school program options depending on the school site and community needs.
ExCEL programs are a partnership between SFUSD and local community based organizations, with each school site having one designated Lead Agency with a site-based enrollment process. Expanded Learning programs collaborate with school-day staff to make sure that after-school academics are aligned with the school-day curriculum. Supper meals are provided.
Students participate in:
Academics: Programs provide designated time for homework and study of reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and technology. High school students also work on college and career preparation and other credit earning options.
Enrichment: Students choose classes such as art, cooking, music, and life skills that are engaging, connected to future careers, and expand upon their experiences during the school day.
Recreation: Students participate in sports, dance, games, and other physical activities to stay healthy.
