The Common Place Scholars Enrichment Program

The Common Place Scholars Enrichment Program is an afterschool academic and enrichment program serving students in the Southwest Philadelphia community. We provide structured academic support for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, including homework assistance, small-group tutoring, and literacy and numeracy reinforcement.

Beyond academics, students participate in enrichment experiences that support whole-child development. These include movement and wellness activities, financial literacy education, gardening and nutrition education, and creative arts programming in music, digital media, and visual arts. Each component is intentionally integrated to strengthen focus, confidence, collaboration, and practical life skills.

The Scholars Enrichment Program reflects The Common Place’s commitment to youth development and neighborhood stability. We work alongside families to ensure students are supported, engaged, and equipped to grow into confident learners and emerging leaders.
