Need For Quality After School Programs

More than 15 million children are left unsupervised each afternoon after school.

Research shows that children in quality after school programs are more likely to go to school and stay in school, more likely to hand in their school work and get better grades.

UMAC offers an After School program which embraces the time between school closing and parents returning from work to provide your children with an exciting, safe, and engaging experience that will help them learn academic, social, and professional skills.

Would a structured Martial Arts Program that concentrates on developing children who are stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually, be right for you and your child?

Martial Arts training teaches discipline, respect, self-control, focus, and self-confidence. At the heart of learning Taekwondo at UMAC is learning to apply Martial Art Values in every aspect of one’s life; learning to live a Black Belt Life. And students participate in an active and energy-filled training session, adding to their physical activity and wellness.

Students are goal-oriented and motivated in their quest to progress from White Belt to Yellow Belt, all the way up to Black Belt and beyond. Focus and discipline are required to succeed; paying attention to the instructors, practicing, and testing for each belt. And with each belt earned, students build self-confidence in their abilities, become goal-oriented, and motivated to succeed,  which carry over to their home and school work.
