National PTA studies have shown that families desire after-school programs at their
school in overwhelming numbers. Students enrolled in these programs improve their
in-school performance. The school as a whole benefits from better student attendance,
behavior and higher test scores. However, implementing an after-school program can
be quite daunting. Project Science offers fun, hands-on science programs in after-
school settings. With our stand alone program, we can do everything for you and
your school so that your staff or parent volunteers can concentrate their efforts
elsewhere. We do not stop at offering just a fun science club to several of your
students. Project Science creates a partnership with your entire school by offering
a multitude of additional benefits for your students, parents and PTA.
