School's Out South Carolina

School's Out is an education-based charitable organization that tries to enhance our educational offering so that children can climb out of poverty and pursue opportunity, and present more pathways for parents and caregivers to support children along the way.

Schools Out! focuses on two goals to address our challenges in our public elementary schools: (1) that children are better prepared physically, emotionally, and mentally for the next school day, and (2) that parents and care-givers more intensely invest themselves in the well-being of the children.

Schools Out! seeks to achieve these goals through implementing and operating Community Learning Centers at Mary Ford Elementary, Stono Park Elementary, and James Simons Elementary in the Charleston, South Carolina area.

A Community Learning Center provides robust after-school academic, recreation, health, and enrichment components to the enrolled children while creating educational opportunities for the childrens parents and care-givers. A Community Learning Center embraces partnerships with people and organizations that can provide services at the school. A Schools Out! Community Learning Center reinforces the reality that, as the nucleus of every neighborhood, the public elementary schools should be where the community comes together.
