Out-of-School Time

Where Learning, Growth, and Joy Continue After the Bell

At Xiente, we believe that learning doesn’t stop when school ends. Our Out-of-School Time (OST) program offers safe, structured, and enriching after-school and summer opportunities for youth in kindergarten through 8th grade across our neighborhood schools.

OST is a vital part of building human and social capital—supporting families, boosting academic achievement, and connecting youth with mentors, peers, and role models who nurture their growth.

Why OST Matters

OST provides more than just after-school care—it is a foundation for social mobility. Research shows that children who participate in high-quality OST programs:

• Show improved academic performance
• Build stronger relationships with peers and adults
• Stay safer and avoid high-risk behaviors
• Strengthen emotional and social development

My daughter comes home talking about everything she learned—science, dance, even how to plant tomatoes. She’s more confident and excited for school every day.
