Our Curriculum

At SCJCA, our curriculum blends sports, creativity, and leadership to develop well-rounded youth. Each program is designed to engage students intellectually, physically, and emotionally—helping them grow on and off the field.

Cricket

Learn the fundamentals of cricket while building discipline, teamwork, and confidence. Led by trained coaches and players, students gain skills in strategy, coordination, and sportsmanship.

STEAM

RISE

Develop life skills through our RISE framework—Respect, Integrity, Strength, and Excellence. These weekly workshops focus on mentorship, mental wellness, hygiene, and self-empowerment.

CHEER

We’re rewriting the playbook and making history. SCJCA is proud to launch the nation’s first Cheer Cricket program, blending the excitement of cheer with the energy of cricket!

Our curriculum is youth-centered, culturally responsive, and built to inspire the next generation of leaders.
