After-School

Directions for Our Youth provides after-school programming for PS 307 students in kindergarten to fifth grade, Monday through Friday, some holidays and during the summer.  Program staff pick up students from their classrooms at the end of the school day and bring them to the cafeteria for snack and homework help.  During the latter part of the after-school program, students choose from a variety of activities which include afts and crafts, cooperative play, cheerleading, basketball, chess, singing and step dancing.  On holidays and during summer months, Directions For Our Youth organizes student trips to places like the Bronx Zoo, Coney Island, a farm visit in Pennsylvania and local pools for swim lessons.  After-school program staff work collaboratively with PS 307 administration in order to provide quality programs that are safe, fun and relevant to our school mission.
