Performing Arts
After-School Performing Arts
Welcome to the Learning First Charter Performing Arts page!
Our programs are year-round activities that offer students the chance to engage in dynamic, creative experiences throughout the school year. Participation in these programs requires auditions and/or try-outs, ensuring that students are placed in opportunities that match their skill level and artistic interests.
From STOMP and Show Choir, each program is designed to challenge and inspire students, helping them grow as performers while fostering teamwork and artistic expression.

STOMP
The STOMP team at Learning First Charter is a high-energy group that combines rhythm, movement, and creative expression to create unique performances.
Students in the STOMP team work together to develop innovative routines, building teamwork, coordination, and a love for percussion-based performance. See our Team perform at a Worcester Railers game below!

Show Choir
The Show Choir at Learning First Charter is a vibrant and exciting group of students who work together to prepare dynamic vocal performances, and stage presence, while developing teamwork, discipline, and confidence.
Whether performing at school events or in the community, the Show Choir offers a fun and creative outlet for students to express themselves through music.

Neighborhood Strings
Neighborhood Strings is an El Sistema inspired, community-based program of the Worcester Chamber Music Society (WCMS) that offers free music lessons in violin, viola, and cello to youth, right here at Learning First!
The program provides affordable, high-quality arts education, fosters family involvement and is open and accessible to the neighborhoods. Youth learn to make music together with musicians and friends from WCMS. In the process, they discover a creative outlet that hones life skills like discipline, cooperation, imagination, and leadership. Teachers work to forge strong relationships with students that strengthen WCMS’s ties to the community. The focus is not just on the child as a musician, but the child as a citizen and a contributing member of society.
