WHAT WE DO
Programs (5th -8th grades)
Program Design
3Point uses project based learning in the classroom to engage small groups of students to work collaboratively to research, debate and pursue solutions to relevant and authentic community issues selected by the students. This classroom program fosters the development of 21st century skills: critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration and communication, as well as, a growth mindset. Social-emotional learning is integrated throughout the curriculum.
Basketball is a highly valued activity for our youth. Through basketball, our youth come to understand the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, goal setting, self-management, perseverance and resiliency. Basketball also provides a physical outlet that reduces stress that would otherwise inhibit academic performance and is a vehicle that encourages interest in health and wellness.
