Youth Programs Policies and Information
Youth Programs are mini-courses designed to provide challenging enrichment opportunities for children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. These courses are designed to meet the needs of children by providing the following:
- Learning activities at appropriate level and pace.
- Experience in creative thinking and problem-solving.
- Development of self-awareness and acceptance of one's own capacities, interests, and needs
- Stimulation to pursue higher-level goals
- Exposure to a broad variety of ideas and topics.

Our youth programs are constantly changing. Each session, we include new and existing courses in such areas as foreign languages, visual arts, mathematics, language arts, social studies, science, and creative arts.
Students may arrive 15 minutes prior to class time and must be picked up within 15 minutes after class time is complete. Supervision can only be provided for this time period. A responsible adult must accompany students to and from class. This adult must sign the child in and out of the class each day.
In order to receive a certificate of completion, a student may only miss one class.
Youth Program students have the opportunity to use many of the outstanding facilities available at Purdue University North Central. We trust that your child will conduct him or herself in a manner that will continue the positive relationship that youth programs have with Purdue faculty and staff. Students are expected to behave in positive and productive ways. Students will be warned about misbehavior twice. At the second warning, a parent will be notified. Should the misbehavior continue, the student will be dismissed from the program and no refund will be given.
