Success or failure as a human being is not a matter of luck, circumstances, fate or any of the other tiresome old cliches. Those are only excuses.
Programs
Our After-School program includes student activities in three
areas:
Academic: Involves homework assistance, tutoring,
literacy/reading program and FCAT preparation.
Recreational: Includes athletics, volleyball, arts
and crafts, music, dancing, computer games, video games and arcade
games.
Social: Comprises; planning & decision making
skills, interpersonal skills, cultural awareness and conflict
resolution.
The Wayne Barton Study Center maintains a high quality after-school
program with a strong academic focus; we strive to provide the
students with a safe environment that is supervised by caring,
competent and supportive staff. In addition to promoting nurturing
relationships with adults, the WBSC promotes the development of
young people by instilling a sense of competency, usefulness and
belonging.

each student is free to make use of all of them. Students are
allowed to leave the Center at 5:30 or 7:00 with parent’s written
