GSS is proud to extend our educational and sport services to the schools in Georgia and the southeast through our Connect After School programs. Our school specific programs such as holiday camps, tours and after school program will now be run by our sister company Global School Solutions.
Our Connect program has been created due to the deficit in Georgia schools for programs that take care of the whole student. We focus on a holistic approach utilizing programs we have developed and also implemented within school systems already. We want to make sure we are sustainable so we use minimal paper as all of our curriculum and registration documentation is all electronic.
We promise to develop and focus on 3 things for each students using our well rounded programs and activities.
1) Cognitive Development (Mind) - This is for academics, decision making, critical thinking, problem solving. These are activated using programs such as cross lateral movements before homework groups, ballschule - problem solving and decision making ball and activity games, read aloud, yoga, meditation and exercise learning readiness programs.
2) Physical Development (Body) - Utilizing our sport science education and experience with Ballschule, SAQ (Speed Agility and Quickness), Yoga, Fitness Club, SPARQ activities, sport electives and fresh fruit snacks every day, will develop each student health and physical wellbeing.
3) Social (Spirit)- From Reading Caves to Active games, we implement lots of group activities to help each child develop a wide range of social skills. Communication, organization, leadership, humility and many more skills are developed through our program leaders serving as role models and mentors to the students. We also give children the time for working on their own or in very small groups in activities of their choice. We ensure that each day, students get the chance for free play, as it has become so limited in schools over the last 15 years.
These three areas of development allow our approach to stand out from everybody else. We integrate our programs with the schools curriculum and communicate with school leaders, administrators and teachers daily to see how we can support the mission of each classroom and the school.
We also offer HUGE discounts for teachers who need a dynamic environment for their child to enjoy while they prepare for the rest of the school week or are in school for a professional day but have no one to mind their child.
