The Contra Costa Concord Korean School was established in 1979 by the Concord Korean Baptist Church. We will also guide students through Christian teachings. Through learning Korean language, history, culture and arts, students will not lose their true identity as Korean-Americans. Students will learn to become independent and to respect one another, and become leaders in society. Young tutees will read aloud to the tutor who will augment their reading strategies as well as introduce new ones.
Students are primarily African-American.
Tutorial sites are held at Emerson, King, and Foster Elementary Schools in Oakland. Emerson is accessible by bus. Mondays through Fridays during school hours. The Westlake Homework Center at Westlake Middle School sesks community colunteers to contribute their teaching abilities to assist the professional staff in the academic development of youth in Oakland. Duties include tutoring, facilitating planned activities, and program development.
