We Bring Afterschool Programs to You

SA2U brings Saturday Academy’s hands-on, in-depth classes taught by community professionals to your neighborhood organization, group or school. We now have an online catalog and will be running in-person classes with schools in summer 2021.

Community organizations, schools or parents may request a class for their student group (see details below). Students groups generally range from 5 to 15 students.

Thanks to generous donors and sponsors, grant funding for classes with community based organizations is available. Tuition assistance is also available to students in all of our classes.

SA2U classes are:

are open to any student attending the school or who are a part of the organization hosting the class
are inquiry- and project-based classes that offer application of academic concepts in a supportive environment
have no tests, homework or grades
are generally small with 5-15 students per instructor
can be adjusted to accommodate specific academic ability levels and learning goals
are taught by content-area experts (subject to instructor availability)
support students in developing skills needed to meet Oregon State Benchmarks and NGSS standards

No tests, no grades, just curiosity!

Request a Class

Select from the following:

Identify a facilitator for your student group who will work with SA to schedule the class, communicate with families, and if possible, attend the class to support students as needed. If your student group is part of an organization, the facilitator will also request permission from an organization lead or school principal to host an online class.
Talk with your students to identify a class topic(s) or subject, such as science, tech, engineering, arts, math, writing, medical, or college prep.
Determine options for class timing and frequency, between six and twelve hours total. Classes are generally held once per week, or Mon. - Fri. for up to 90 minutes a session.
Contact SA2U@saturdayacademy.org with an outline of the details above to discuss details, including a tuition and registration model.
Saturday Academy will then reach out to our base of community experts to design and schedule a class.
