Elementary + Middle School Programs -
Elementary School
Focus:
Sunrise’s elementary programs support children in building foundational academic skills, as well as creativity and self-expression.In addition to homework assistance and recreation, our out-of-school time programs offer literacy activities that bring reading alive and respond to students’ unique needs, especially the many English Language Learners (ELLs) in our program.
Middle School
Focus:
Our middle school programs offer a safe, engaging and student-centered environment that helps youth build a strong sense of self and begin to explore future options. Programming provides a traditional after school environment combined with project based learning activities, enrichment opportunities, academic support, hands-on programming informed by youth interests. Middle school programs also aim to assist students in the transition to high school and beyond by providing school application and research assistance as well as basic career exploration opportunities.

High School Program -
Sunrise’s high school programs continue to provide caring adults and academic supports that help youth stay on the path to graduation, while also planning for the future and building the skills needed to succeed in post-secondary endeavours. At South Philadelphia High School, Sunrise’s Teen Lounge and afterschool clubs balance both academic supports (like credit recovery services to ‘catch-up’ struggling students) and high interest activities – such as music - that allow students to discover areas of passion and exercise leadership. Staff also assist with SAT prep, financial aid, writing application essays, interview skills, and other activities designed to prepare South Philadelphia youth for academic success and future careers.
