The Explorers Program operates at 40 schools within Merced County. Enrollment is open to all students in grades K-8. Students must attend, and applications must be submitted. 

Each district determines the enrollment priorities for its students each year. For more information about the enrollment priority of a school, please contact the office.

Parents are required to attend an orientation to go over the expectations of the program. All parents will receive a parent handbook at the orientation listing the expectations of the ASSETS program. After the orientation, parents will receive notification of enrollment. Should interest exceed program capacity, a waiting list will be developed.

The Explorers Program is a grant-funded after-school program administered by the California Department of Education. This program intends to provide priority services to students who can take full advantage of the after-school program. Please review the enrollment application for more information regarding the attendance expectations of this program.

We look forward to your child participating in the wealth of diverse curricular, recreational, and enrichment activities that we have planned.  If you have any questions, please contact the office (209) 385-8420.
