SOARS After-School Enrichment & Childcare

SOARS (Student Opportunities for Achievement and Reaching Success) is the umbrella name for a variety of before and after-school enrichment programs that are available for BPSD students.Kid Connection is a fee-based before-and-after-school program that provides a safe environment for students to access homework help, participate in outdoor activities, and enjoy enrichment opportunities. Kid Connection runs from 6:00am - 6:00pm each school day. Children who enroll in Kid Connection are supervised by quality staff dedicated to meeting the needs of all students. Summer Kid Connection is also available, with academic enrichment Monday - Thursday in the mornings and fun activities in the afternoons and on Fridays. Kid Connection is available at Corey and Emery Schools. 

BPSD partners with the Boys & Girls Club of Buena Park, California State University, Fullerton Titans, and AlphaBEST to provide the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (BPSD SOARS), which is a free after-school program that runs until 6:00pm at the Elementary Schools and 6:20pm at the Middle Schools each day. This program includes snacks, enrichment, homework time, and tutoring, along with a variety of outdoor activities, specialty clubs, and other site-driven programming. 

BPSD also offers a range of specialty enrichment classes for all students, many of which culminate in a district-wide event or showcase. These include the Spelling Bee, Basketball, Track and Field, Superintendent’s Soccer Cup, Dance, Art, Choral Festival, Chess, Speech and Debate, STEM, eSports,  and much more. Students who are enrolled in another after-school program can still attend these specialty classes and then return to their usual after-school program.
