The Herndon Enrichment Program is a free evening academic program for students in grades 3-7 who need to improve their basic reading, writing, spelling, and math skills. This program meets at the Herndon Neighborhood Resource Center. Professional teachers, assisted by volunteer teacher's aides, lead small classes of students, helping with homework and creatively reviewing basic concepts in language arts and math. Parents work with their child's public school teachers to obtain a referral. Program teachers work closely with a student's parents and school teachers to create a plan tailored to each child's needs. Students from eleven Herndon schools participate in the program. Students in the Herndon Enrichment Program receive support twice a week (M/W or T/TH) in classes of 15-20 students. The program also connects parents to resources to help improve the student's home environment.
