The Georgia Afterschool Quality Standards providers, families and funders a framework to build a common language around what quality afterschool means. These standards are also intentionally aligned to the Common Core State Standards.

Georgia's standards emphasize high quality programming across the following areas:

• Active and engaging learning
• Linkages to the school day and the Common Core State Standards
• Health, nutrition and physical fitness
• Environment (indoor and outdoor space)
• Relationships, culture and diversity
• Staffing, volunteers and professional development
• Continuous Improvement
