Extended Learning

Norwich Public Schools Extended Learning programs (Aspire, Bridges, and TOP) provides after-school and summer learning programs during non-school hours. Enrichment activities expose students to new experiences and opportunities. These programs are aligned with school-day initiatives and link to the community through project-based learning. Norwich Public Schools collaborates with Norwich Human Services- Youth & Rec Division and other community based organizations to support extended learning programs within our schools.
