NLMUSD's Expanded Learning Program (ELP)
The NLMUSD's Expanded Learning Program (ASES Prep) believes that all students deserve quality and equitable learning opportunities. Their goal is to be an academic support system to schools and to students as well as to work with students in developing strong social-emotional skills. The program provides support through three components: common core curriculum, character building, and Community and Social Engagement.

SHARED VISION
The NLMUSD’s after school program supports closing the achievement gap in K-12 education as well as developing the skills to become responsible community members and life-long learners. This is accomplished through collaboration with all stakeholders: students, educators, families, and the greater community as well as through rigorous data-driven instruction, project-based learning, enrichment activities, social-emotional support, critical inquiry and exposure to higher education.
