What is the 21st Century Program?
The 21st Century Program at Lansingburgh Central School District is a part of the New York State Education Department and the United States Department of Education’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21CCLC) grant. 21CCLCs help students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offer a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offer literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
This is not a drop-in program. Students must be enrolled in the program to attend.
