Abstract:
The 21st CCLC program at the Jewish Renaissance Foundation (JRF) provides its participants with high quality academic enrichment programming. Our program uses a hands-on, project based, guided inquiry curriculum to challenge our students, while providing them with a solid foundation in basic skills. All enrichment activities are aligned to meet or exceed the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. The 21st CCLC program at the JRF focuses on science, technology, engineering and math to prepare our students for 21st century careers. Enrichment activities in these categories include the iPod Project, Engineering Challenge, 21st CASP, Sports & Science and Robotics.
