Enhanced After School Program Enrolling for Fall 2019
The Academy offers a unique after school program for those interested in giving their children a step up in their lives.

The Academy of Martial Arts & Personal Development’s Enhanced After-School Program has been running strong for 8 years and, in that time, has helped dozens of students’ lives academically and behaviorally.
Students are picked up from their school and brought directly to the Academy, where they are provided with structured environment in which to do homework, with assistance if necessary under the watchful eye of a CT Certified teacher. In addition, students have time to read, play games, socialize in a healthy environment, do arts & crafts and get their engineering on with some amazing Lego designs! What makes the Academy’s comprehensive After-School Program so unique is its focus on “Character Development”, both during After-School hours and martial arts classes.
Grandmaster Waldron, Owner and Grandmaster Instructor of the Academy of Martial Arts, believes that "the martial arts are an invaluable tool in developing children into confident, capable members of society. Adults benefit from a positive, safe and challenging environment as well as the chance to constantly grow, mentally and physically.” He adds, “Our After-School Program is unique in the sense that we work with the whole child, helping them improve their academics, learn to control their behaviors and get them physically healthy through martial arts training. It's a win-win-win!” For more information about The Academy of Martial Arts & Personal Development, contact them by calling 860-646-7993, emailing at Office@TheAcademy.us, visiting their website at www.TheAcademy.us or visiting the school at 440 Oakland Street in Manchester.
