The 12 Comics After School Program is a stimulating place for school-age children and youth, while providing opportunities for participation in some, or all, of the following activities:

◦              Academic skill-building and homework help

◦              Sports and recreation

◦              Exploration of special interests such as art, computers and technology, crafts, games, etc.

◦              Unstructured play

◦              Homework and remedial help

◦              Cultural activities

Upon arrive at 12 Comics After School, homework completion is the first priority.  Students receive homework help and are required to read independently.  Once homework assignments are finished, students will work on development of their characters and comic book story.

12COMICS PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY

The 12 Comics method promotes the connection of student academic achievement to the growth of their super hero character. The better the student does in school, the students' created hero becomes more prominent and powerful. Report card grades, completed homework assignments, and test scores are all converted into points (i.e. an A or 100% on a test equals 20 points). These points are applied to the student's super hero character statistics. This motivates students to complete school work and to study knowing their success will affect their character and comic book story.

In addition to creating and developing a superhero character, students have the opportunity to participate in our entrepreneurial component.  This allows students to experience the marketing, and selling, of their comic book as well as receiving royalties from sales of any merchandise or book signings that feature their character.

At the end of the school year, students will produce either a custom biographical comic book or a collaborative, professionally illustrated comic book.
