About Expanded Learning

Expanded Learning Programs, also known as Extended Day (previously Before and After School) programs, are California grant-funded programs that provide engaging learning and enrichment opportunities that prepare students for college, career, and life.

This program is created through partnerships between Oceanside Unified School District and local community organizations to ensure that students in grades TK–12 have a safe and welcoming environment to learn, thrive, and grow. Our purpose is to expand learning opportunities and build upon the rigorous academic program students receive during the regular school day.

Program staff design and implement activities that encourage active learning, collaborative partnerships, creativity, athletics, project-based learning, STEAM, leadership development, mentorship opportunities, literacy, mathematics, and social-emotional growth.
