Welcome to the "Give Kids A Chance" Performing Arts Program, an after-school initiative tailored specifically for school-age children within the Fall River Public Schools system. Our program is designed as a comprehensive educational endeavor, extending its reach to introduce a diverse array of performing arts to our young participants. With an unwavering commitment to inclusivity, "Give Kids A Chance" paves the way for students of varying socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds to access dance, voice, musical theater, and drama instruction. In collaboration with On Stage, "Give Kids A Chance" goes beyond conventional norms by providing complimentary instruction in acting and musical theater. This offering caters to elementary through high school students hailing from Fall River, addressing a crucial need and ensuring that children who would otherwise be hindered by financial instability are granted the opportunity to embrace the performing arts within their educational journey.
The primary aim of "Give Kids A Chance" is to bridge the gap for children who have been deprived of exposure to the performing arts due to financial constraints. Our program offers them an unprecedented gateway into a world they might not have accessed otherwise. The virtues of discipline and self-esteem instilled through these performing arts experiences extend their influence beyond the studio, positively affecting academic pursuits, recreational activities, and interpersonal interactions.
After 40 years of dedicated existence, the program's profound impact speaks for itself. We proudly boast a remarkable record of successful high school graduates who have seamlessly transitioned into colleges armed with full academic scholarships.
At On Stage, the significance of arts as a conduit for unparalleled discipline is resoundingly evident in the students' growth.
Notably, On Stage takes immense pride in achieving a remarkable 100% high school graduation rate among its program attendees. This achievement stands as a testament to the efficacy of the program's approach, particularly when contrasted with the city's broader high school graduation rate, currently hovering around 60%. Furthermore, On Stage celebrates an impressive 98% college graduation rate, with an additional 2% of graduates opting to enroll in the ROTC program to leverage scholarship opportunities. These statistics overwhelmingly demonstrate the program's ability to cultivate the essential skills necessary for students to emerge as accomplished adults within their community.
In the grand tapestry of education, "Give Kids A Chance," woven in partnership with On Stage Theatrical Productions, paints a portrait of hope, opportunity, and enduring success. Discover the world of possibilities with "Give Kids A Chance" and On Stage.
