Holistic Curriculum
Our programs blend dance, visual arts, technology, and SEL (social-emotional learning) to promote personal and academic growth.
Culturally Rooted and Future-Forward
From African dance to WordPress and sound bowl meditation, we honor cultural traditions while preparing students with future-ready skills.
Student-Centered & Community-Focused
We meet students where they are, support their individual learning styles, and collaborate with school leaders to align with community goals.
What Makes Our Afterschool Programs Unique?
Where Creativity, Culture, and Innovation Meet
At 1st Evolution Arts, our afterschool programs are designed to ignite imagination, foster growth, and equip students with the tools to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Through a unique fusion of arts, technology, wellness, and cultural education, we provide engaging, standards-based learning experiences that empower youth far beyond the classroom.
Our mission is simple: to evolve young minds through creativity, discipline, and innovation. Whether students are learning choreography, building a website, discovering graphic design, or practicing mindfulness, our afterschool programs are built to support the whole child.
