Our Elementary 21st Century Community Learning Centers
STAR ACADEMY
Success Through Academic Readiness (STAR)

Welcome to Pasco County Schools’ STAR Academy!  The STAR Academy is an out-of-school time enrichment program for elementary school students provided at no cost to the families. Our goal is to support and prepare students for global citizenship in the 21st century by providing them with enhanced skills and tools necessary to function in a global economy. Fun, hands-on, project-based learning activities will be offered to students that will incorporate science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM), physical activity, healthy living, and sports instruction. Homework assistance and targeted tutoring will also be provided to students by certified teaching staff in needed academic areas. In addition to providing academic and personal enrichment, the staff will build caring and positive relationships with their students serving the needs of the whole child.

Regular attendance in the program allows students to experience the entire breadth of the program offerings.  Therefore, it is a requirement of participation in the program that the student attend daily and participate during the hours of operation before/after school and on full days when program is open, and school is closed.    In addition, we provide quarterly adult family member education nights where topics of interest are presented in an engaging format with the goal of assisting families to have active and meaningful engagement in their children’s education.  Families must attend an initial information session at the beginning of each year and then a minimum of two (2) presentations throughout the year.
