VAC is delighted to offer a new model for our partnerships with schools; we provide curriculum and support for your teachers for an affordable flat fee, allowing you to offer super-fun specialty afterschool programs.
At many leading independent and charter schools, the time kids spend out of class (in afterschool and summer programs) is now seen as an opportunity for specialized classes in engaging, career-relevant topics like Coding, Minecraft Design, and Robotics. As a premier provider of these programs at hundreds of schools nationwide (including some of the best schools in the country), VAC understands how to create exceptional experiences in dozens of specialty topics.
While we typically send our instructors to teach at 200+ schools, our Partnership Program offers schools the opportunity to use VAC’s curriculum and have our comprehensive support while utilizing their own teachers. This partnership model helps overcome challenges schools typically face offering robust afterschool programs in many special topics: either difficulty getting in-house teachers to participate in afterschool instruction, or limited program offerings because teachers focused on school-day learning can't develop expertise in everything. We even visit in person two times per semester for schools in the 32 metro areas we serve, to help your teachers create memorable, semester-defining days (imagine your students experiencing a Renaissance feast with authentic recipes and period costumes).
For a surprisingly low cost, we provide everything your teachers need to deliver best-in-class programming with zero friction:
-
Program Selection: At the beginning of each semester, you choose from our extensive catalog of delightful and unique afterschool programs in topics your teachers might not have expertise in (AI for Kids, Design and Minecraft, Cooking and History, and many more). Your teachers sign up for classes using our easy online service.
-
Teacher Training: We provide comprehensive training through live instruction and ongoing support, ensuring confident delivery throughout the semester. If students' interests shift, we'll help your teachers adjust lessons accordingly. They get constant help from us.
-
Complete Materials: We work with your teachers to obtain all necessary materials at the start of each semester—everything needed for the entire program.
-
Expert In-Person Visits: Once per semester, our specialists co-teach a special showcase lesson that create memorable experiences (like bringing 1850s cooking instruments for history classes).
-
AI-Powered Tools: We provide your teachers with our proprietary lesson-generation tools that create custom content based on student interests, helping keep material fresh without additional planning. (This is our AI model that’s been trained on 100s of afterschool classes that teachers say they absolutely love).
​
The result? Your teachers can easily deliver afterschool programs that rival museum visits or science center field trips—immersive experiences where kids learn history by dressing up, explore STEM through hands-on experiments, or discover anatomy through engaging activities. Teachers actually want to participate because everything is handled for them and the content is engaging for them too. You'll offer an impressive variety of specialty classes while maintaining quality control, driving enrollment, and boosting revenue.
