Laity Educational After-school Program

LEAP® is a fun, engaging, and comprehensive after-school program that offers in-depth classes in Acting, Art, Animation, Dance, and Music. Designed for grades 1-8, all classes align with the National Core Arts Standards to provide a high-quality arts education.

 

Want LEAP® at Your School or Organization?

If your school doesn’t offer LEAP® yet, ask for it! Schools or administrators can contact us to explore funding options for students. Class sizes are small, ranging from 5 to 15 students per class, for a personalized experience. Many schools adopt LEAP® because the monthly cost to parents can be too high without school or district support, especially for families who wouldn’t otherwise have access to this level of arts education.

Our Purpose

LEAP® exists to boost awareness of the visual and performing arts in schools and highlight their vital role in education. This after-school program complements daytime arts instruction with rich, content-driven classes. We focus on three key areas:

• Skills: What students learn from expert instructors.

• Confidence: How students apply what they’ve learned.

• Motivation: What inspires students to keep exploring?

​

Our Mission

Through LEAP®, we aim to spark students’ creativity and intellect in dance, music, drama, and art. To make this happen, we’ve built the program with:

• Relevant, challenging subject matter.

• Clear goals and measurable objectives.

• Ongoing assessments to track student progress.

 

Standards

LEAP® follows the National Core Arts Standards in Art, Media Arts, Dance, Drama, and Music to ensure students get the best possible experience.

Notes

• The Dance Program requires a stage or dedicated space.

• Summer Program contracts require 50% down, with the final payment due the last week of the program.
