When Children Save the Day offers standards-based programs to build language arts skills and service learning experiences through active, real life opportunities.

To engage and empower young people our programs:

• Use a Language Arts Curriculum based on National Standards. It includes opportunities for reading, writing and oral language development.
• Offer a variety of activities to engage different learning styles. This means all students are included.
• Invite students to act as stakeholders: They make decisions about program activities and outcomes.
• Enable students to set their own goals.
• Encourage community relationships: From school to home to neighborhoods to international communities.

Our curriculum and classroom practice strive to be:

• Grounded in the lives of our students
• Multicultural, anti-racist, pro-justice
• Participatory and experiential
• Hopeful, joyful, kind, visionary
• Activist
• Academically rigorous
