After-school Program
The Vietnamese Dual Language Program considers raising a child to be a community effort and emphasize learning beyond school hours. After-school mentoring and tutoring is offered to all students through the Asian-American Students In America (A.S.I.A.) Foundation and the collaboration with the Vietnamese Students Association (VSA) at the University of Texas. The Vietnamese Dual Language Program staff, A.S.I.A. Foundation and VSA volunteers work together to help guide our students in both academics and social development.
The Vietnamese Afterschool Program at Summitt Elementary will service students from Pre-K through 5th grade. Our mission is to provide academic support from 3pm-4:00pm and a cultural enrichment program from 4:00pm-6:00pm to all students from Monday to Friday. The program will follow Austin ISD's school schedule. Each child will be placed in a classroom suitable to his/her level of development. Children will receive academic assistance with homework, projects, and other school-related assignments.
