Aberdeen Proving Ground Child, Youth & School (CYS) Services is proud to offer this great program in our community as of 2005!
CYS Services has
recently introduced SKIESUnlimited, a
groundbreaking instructional program
initiative designed as a global instructional
program. Each Army community can benefit from
this new SKIESUnlimited initiative.
SKIESUnlimited encompasses instructional
programs for children and youth from infancy
to adolescence, i.e., four weeks through the
end of their senior year in high school. SKIESUnlimited
provides the organizational umbrella for all
instructional programming in the CYS system.
SKIESUnlimited has a four-school
system. The four schools are: School of
Sports, School of Arts, School of Life
Skills, and School of Academic Skills.
Through SKIESUnlimited, children and
youth in Child Development Services (CDS),
School Age Services (SAS), Middle School and
Teen (MS/T), and Outreach Services (OS)
programs will have equal access to
opportunities o expand their knowledge, be
inspired, explore and acquire skills.
Young people spend as much as 80 percent of their
waking time outside the classroom. When
involved in instructional programs during the
critical hours of 3 - 8 p.m., they are less
likely to engage in undesirable behavior.
Children and youth participate in
instructional programs for a variety of
reasons: to explore new skills, to pursue and
nurture personal interests, to interact
socially with others, to build a resume, to
bolster a college application, or to foster a
close relationship with caring knowledgeable
adults outside of home.
Instructional programs foster the
development of critical life, leadership and
social skills. The latest educational
research confirms that student involvement in
after-school instructional programs is
beneficial on all levels. Instructional
programs have been shown to promote the
intellectual development of children and
youth.
For information about SKIESUnlimited,
available classes and registration, please
contact the Instructional Program Specialist at 410-278-4589.
