“…one of the most inspiring projects in the country today.” Fraser Nelson, the Spectator Blog Welcome!
Civitas runs an outstanding network of after-school and Saturday schools across the country.
We help primary school children to reach their full academic potential by focusing on reading fluently, spelling accurately, practicing times-tables and basic mathematical functions in small classes. We think it is important for children to understand grammar, punctuation and mental arithmetic.
Our primary focus is to provide low cost supplementary English and maths lessons to children who require extra educational support but do not have access to expensive private tuition. Aspirations are raised and confidence boosted as children diligently attend weekly two or three hour classes. We only see the children for a few hours each week, but the progress they make is remarkable. Civitas Schools are located in the heart of communities - in church halls, schools and community centres. From dedicated teachers to excellent textbooks, and small class sizes to conveniently located centres, children thrive in the Civitas Schools environment.
