No Child Left Behind
VIPS provides after-school and Saturday programs at various Providence middle schools and the Technology Center. Our programs, as directed and funded by the No Child Left Behind federal law, focus on improving reading, writing and math skills. Our certified teachers help students with their current grade level curricula and provide remedial assistance. A science component incorporates reading, writing and math skills. In our 44 hour programs, we document all students progress' with pre- and post-tests. Our results indicate that these supplemental services help students improve their basic skills and current classroom work.
