Cornerstone Kits provide hands-on academic enrichment in Science, Math, and Language Arts for elementary and middle school students. Each kit includes essential materials and complete activity guides, including separate elementary guides for grades K-1 and 2-5. Lessons are tiered to development levels when possible, with additional K-1 and 2-5 activity modifications for older and younger students. Middle school content expands on this foundation to meet older students’ needs.
Designed for 21st Century afterschool programs, every kit equips facilitators with student materials, assessment tools, and a clear, easy-to-implement format and minimalist design that works across all experience levels. With organized lesson components, step-by-step guidance, and up to 162 contact hours, the program supports multiple simultaneous lessons and accommodates diverse learning styles. Each guide includes pre- and post-tests, entry events and discussion questions, and bonus extension activities, often with a technology component. Middle school kits also introduce career connections for real-world relevance.
Whether used for foundational skills or advanced enrichment, Cornerstone Kits are evidence-based, standards-aligned, and proven to improve achievement. By combining structured instruction with active learning, these kits deliver engaging, practical experiences in any afterschool setting.
