Circle4Success After-School Enrichment Program

Our After School Enrichment Program has recently been redesigned and renamed Circle 4Success. Everything we do is driven by a simple prayer: "I will continue, O my God, to do all my actions for the love of You" (Jean Baptist do La Salle). 

The '4' in C4S stands for the four areas that the program addresses as we seek to grow in our love for God: Heart (social & emotional development); Soul (spiritual growth); Strength (personal character & skill development); and Mind (academic enrichment).

This year the C4S Program has the theme verse of Luke 10:27. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind." This verse reflects the reality that God is our King and we are His children, learning to love Him and live with Him forever!

Our partnership with Catalyst Circle-Rock School provides the opportunity to offer wrap-around services every school day for the students from kindergarten thru 8th grade. When school is not in session over holidays and extended breaks C4S provides nurturing safe activities on our campus, within metropolitan Chicago, or at camps beyond our local area.

Many of the families we serve make great financial sacrifices to enroll their children in the Circle4Success after school enrichment program, contributing up to $1,500 toward the $4,000 year-round annual cost per student.  We count on the generous gifts of our partners across America to make up the difference so that the program can remain affordable to our families.  (see “Get Involved / Sponsor A Child” on our website)
