The Sons of Issachar Afterschool Academy at Lyles Mall serves male students Kindergarten through 5th grade, Monday through Thursday, from 3:30 pm - 6 pm. CCDC believes it is our students' right to be encouraged to learn in an environment devoted to meeting their academic, emotional, social and physical needs.

As an extension of the normal school day Canaan Community Development Corporation is pleased to offer after school programming. We understand that for many busy and working parents, it's challenging to find an enriching atmosphere for after school care, particularly males who perhaps have additional needs in learning and scholastic development.

The Sons of Issachar Afterschool Academy has developed a truly innovative program for After-School Care. We instill a continued love of learning. We're offer homework assistance, technology time, supervised activities, and youth-directed career interests in a safe and nurturing environment.

Our After-School Program focuses on making learning fun. We welcome the After-School Kids to an environment with plenty of opportunities to unwind and just enjoy being a kid! From our activity rooms to the spacious state-of-the-art technology center, Sons of Issachar meets all the requirements to captivate and satisfy the needs of the school-aged child.

At our academy, your child can relax, knowing that they belong to a loving, supportive environment, and are encouraged to create lasting friendships and connections with their teachers and classmates.

Our "social-empowerment" philosophy holds true in the After-School Program. We foster loving kindness, respect, and understanding in every facet of our approach.
