In collaboration with MCOZ and various community partners, BEYOND THE BELL will engage our K-12 students in academic and enrichment opportunities that foster self-confidence and boost academic achievement.

We recognize that high quality extended learning opportunities provide extra time for students to learn and practice. We also recognize that our programs must be motivational, engaging and support the academic, social and emotional needs of our learners.

BEYOND THE BELLPrograms will be developed based on 4 categories of need:

• Enrichment Activities and Clubs

• Research Based Intervention

• Social Emotional Learning

• Focused Academic Support

Beyond the Bell would like to thank the TOWN of MIDDLETOWN for fully funding our programs.

We would also like to thank  van Beuren Charitable Foundation for generously supporting the MCOZ to coordinate literacy programs in partnership with Middletown Public Schools.

We thank our community partners!!
