Welcome to Extended Learning and Community Schools (ELCS)

At Extended Learning and Community Schools (ELCS), we’re dedicated to providing Denver Public Schools (DPS) students with safe, enriching, and inspiring opportunities beyond the classroom. From Discovery Link to Enrichment Programming and a wide array of Out-of-School Time (OST) activities, our programs empower students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

We proudly serve over 70 schools across the district, creating spaces where students can:

  • Explore new skills through hands-on, engaging activities.

  • Build friendships and strengthen their sense of community.

  • Develop resilience and confidence with Social Emotional Academic Learning (SEAL) woven into everything we do.

Whether it’s after school, during breaks, or throughout the summer, ELCS programs ensure every student has access to opportunities that inspire a lifelong love of learning and growth.

Join us in making out-of-school time a time to shine!
