Children’s After School Arts (CASA)

Children’s After School Arts (CASA) Children's After School Arts is a nonprofit arts based after school program

CASA (Children’s After School Arts) is an independent, nonprofit creative arts afterschool program dedicated to guiding San Francisco’s youth toward open expression, expansive hearts, and questioning minds. We are located at Rooftop Alternative School in San Francisco’s beautiful Twin Peaks neighborhood. We provide a safe, comfortable, and inspiring environment in which children in kindergarten th

rough 6th grade receive creative and performing arts instruction. Our diverse team of artist/educators employ an emphasis on social justice and social/emotional development in order to encourage community-building and positive connections among the students and staff. We encourage effective communication and work daily on peaceful conflict resolution using restorative practices. CASA takes special pride in outreach to children with challenging social, academic, and family issues; we embrace LGBTQ+ families and children who express gender variance. Our generous scholarship offerings allow CASA to create an especially rich cohort of children from a variety of San Francisco’s demographics. At CASA, children are free be themselves within a safe and structured arts curriculum. Our students graduate with a love for the arts, but more importantly, they each leave us with a drive to be a better human being.

Passport to good vibes only! 🌍✈️ This week in the Wellness Center, our students packed their bags, put on their shades, and practiced coping skills through imagined vacation scenarios - from navigating a hotel mix-up to handling a wrong order at dinner. Deep breaths, positive self-talk, counting to ten... all in the suitcase. Swipe to see where they traveled and what they learned! 🧳

A couple of weeks ago, the Wellness Center hosted a lower school workshop, where students learned about different coping strategies. They made fortune tellers and discussed how they deal with their big emotions. To model this, we ended with stress ball making!
