Abstract

There has been an increased interest in after-school programs in the past 15 years. Some emphasize academic support services; others are more like traditional extracurricular activities. Those programs dedicated to academic support have the advantage of being free of constraints from the education system, allowing the programs to experiment. These programs can be linked to schools in a variety of ways.
