The purpose of the After-School Student Program (ASP), also known as "Homework Club", is to enhance and support the growth of 7th and 8th grade students enrolled at OCSA through provision of an affordable, safe, and caring, after-school environment. The program goals are to provide guidance and care, in a quiet, structured environment, for students to complete homework, which acts as an extension of home, school, and community.
