Curriculum for 11 to 14 year olds
Language Development
The curriculum of the junior youth program consists of stories containing meaningful exercises, activities, and community projects within a participatory environment that help junior youth develop their critical thinking and their ability to express their ideas.
Development of Values
Junior youth read and discuss stories that help them think about the importance of values. The content of the stories as well as the environment of encouragement is intended to help junior youth develop their capacity to make positive decisions.
Academic Excellence
In addition to what they study, junior youth also receive practical support and encouragement by their youth tutors so that they can excel in their academic studies. Homework help and after school tutoring is a natural extension of the program.
Community Involvement
A core tenet of the program is helping junior youth develop their talents and abilities by helping the community. Junior youth often consult, plan and execute community projects help them develop an understanding of community issues and become agents of change.
Language Development & Empowerment
The junior youth program uses an internationally recognized curriculum that is designed with the aim of helping 11-14 year olds explore a number of themes that will develop their language abilities, enable them to excel in school, and become active agents of change.
Enhance what your child is learning at school
The curriculum of the junior youth program consists of textbooks at three levels of study for the following age groups: 11–12 year olds, 12–13 year olds, and 13– 14 year olds. Each level will have texts in the areas of language, mathematics and science, as well as those focused on navigating present-day society. It is hoped that, in its entirety, the series will provide young people with the elements of a conceptual framework that will guide their choices and actions as they mature into adults.

“The junior youth program has helped my daughter so much. The way she sees the world today and the role she plays in it is in large part due to the experiences of being a part of the program and the animators she looks up to.”
Jennifer (Parent of 14 Year old)
“This program can really benefit the students. I have personally seen how much it has helped some of them become more confident in their own capacities and believe that they too, can make a difference.”
