Meline McWhirter

Apollo has been a wonderful after school program for our 1st grader. He loves it there and gets a great mix of outside active play, fun, creative projects, and help with homework everyday. They obviously really care about the kids and are great about communicating with the parents about what is happening there. I would recommend this program to anyone looking for high quality after school care

This review is for the Ventura, CA Apollo program. It’s great and comprised of really caring people. They have been getting better each year.

Our Mission

Apollo After School’s mission is to create a safe, fun and friendly environment for our students, inspire lifelong learning, and build relationships and communities.

Here’s what that means, in practice:

• A Safe, Fun, and Friendly Environment. We provide a safe and welcoming afterschool environment, with a wide range of activities and opportunities for our students to grow.
• Lifelong Learning. We inspire our students to be lifelong learners, encourage creative expression and build their sense of self-confidence.
• Build Relationships and Communities. We enhance your school’s social dynamic by creating lasting, cooperative relationships across different age groups. We encourage our students to think big, increase engagement in their communities, and make positive contributions to the world around them.

Our Approach

We use a practical, results-oriented mix of both modern and classical instructional methods, plus our own classroom-tested experience in making the learning process fun:

• Project-Based Learning Curriculum. At each level of development, whether working on their own or in teams, we teach our students to solve problems by asking questions, utilizing their own skills and learning new ones.
• Social-Emotional Learning. Our activities are geared towards providing our students with a framework of skills from which they can set and achieve goals, show empathy for others, build positive relationships, and make good decisions.
• Socratic Method. We use a question-based approach to help our students process information and develop a deeper understanding of their own learning. Skillful questions act as a starting point for further exploration, discussions encourage students to view learning as a collaborative process, and encouraging students to use observations and evidence to support their ideas builds their self-confidence.
• Fun, Interactive Environment. We provide our instructors with a whole range of tools to answer the questions, ‘How can we make this more fun? How can we get our students more involved?’

Billing and Tuition

Three, four, and five days a week options, plus drop-ins.

One Monthly Bill.

Apollo After School is a tuition-based program that can operate at no additional cost to your school.

We here at Holmes PTO are happy to host Apollo After School in providing aftercare for Holmes Elementary. We began offering their program last year out of need, on a trial basis. We only had one room available to them. They filled to capacity, and we had parents on a waitlist. Feedback was very positive.
This year we were able to open up more space and allow them to be wholly responsible for Holmes Aftercare. Their management staff met with our school principal and I to set things up and have taken it from there. We appreciate their regular updates on how things are going, and are big fans of their revenue sharing plan!
Apollo After School Manager, Rebecca Campbell-Riha and her team take care of the 49 kids enrolled in the program. They have the kids separated into different classrooms, do a good job orchestrating everyone, and handle discipline problems quickly.
So far, we’ve had a lot of positive feedback from kids and their parents. We look forward to a continued partnership with Apollo!

APOLLO • Big Russian Encyclopedia

Authors: A. A. Takho-Godi., L. I. Taruashvili (Iconography.)

APOLLOʹ (‘Απόλλων), in Greek. religion and mythology olympic god.

The classical image of A. combined archaic and chthonic features of pre-Greek and Asia Minor origin (hence the variety of its functions – both destructive and beneficent, the combination of dark and bright sides in it). Son of Zeus and Leto, brother of Artemis. A. was born on a floating about. Asteria (Delos), who accepted Zeus’s beloved Leto, whom the jealous Hera forbade to set foot on solid ground. A. matured early and, while still quite young, killed the serpent Python, or Delphinius, which devastated the environs of Delphi. A. hit with his arrows the giant Titius, who was trying to offend Leto, the Cyclopes, who forged lightning bolts for Zeus, and also participated in the battles of the Olympians with giants and titans . In the Trojan War, A. the archer helps the Trojans, he invisibly participates in the murder of Patroclus by Hector and Achilles by Paris. Along with destructive, healing actions are inherent in A.; he is a doctor, or Peon, Alexikakos, a protector from evil and disease. Later, A. was identified with the sun in the fullness of its healing and destructive functions. A. – a prophet and an oracle, was even thought of as the “driver of fate” – Moiraget. A. is a shepherd (Nomi) and guardian of the flocks. He is the founder and builder of cities, the ancestor and patron of the tribes, “father”. Sometimes these features of A. are associated with myths about serving people, to which Zeus sends him, enraged by the independent disposition of A. When A.’s son, the healer Asclepius, was struck by Zeus’s lightning for trying to resurrect people, A. interrupted the Cyclopes and was sent to serve as punishment as a shepherd to King Admet in Thessaly, where he multiplied his flocks and, together with Hercules, saved the king’s wife Alcesta from death. A. is a musician, he received a kithara in exchange for cows from Hermes. He is the patron of singers and musicians, Musaget is the leader of the muses, who severely punishes those who try to compete with him in music. For the archaic the image of A. is characterized by proximity to agriculture and shepherding. He is Daphnius, that is, laurel. The zoomorphism of A. is manifested in its connection and even complete identification with the raven, swan, mouse, wolf, and ram. He is Sminfey (“mouse”), but he is a savior from mice. The epithet Lycian (“wolf”) indicates A. as a guardian from wolves and as a wolf. The traits of A., associated with the period of domination of the feminine, are reflected in his mother’s name – Letoid. At a later stage of the archaic, A. is a hunter and a shepherd. The idea of ​​the interpenetration of life and death, characteristic of primitive thinking, did not escape the image of A.; at this late stage of the archaic, he is a demon of death, murder, even those consecrated by the ritual of human sacrifice, but he is also a healer, averter of misfortunes, Apotropey (“disgustor”), Prostat (“protector”).

The two greatest heroes Hercules and Theseus were associated with the mythology of A. If, according to some myths, A. and Hercules fight each other for the Delphic tripod, then in others they together found a city. Under the patronage of A. Theseus kills the Minotaur and streamlines the laws in Athens, and Orpheus pacifies the elemental forces of nature.

The cult of A. was widespread in Greece, but ch. the center of his veneration was the Delphic temple with the oracle A. The ambiguous nature of the predictions, which allowed the broadest interpretation, allowed the Delphic college of priests to influence Greek politics. In Delphi, festivities were held in honor of A. Temple A. on Delos was a religious-political. center of the Delian League . In the classical period, A. was understood primarily as the god of art and the artist. inspiration, evolving towards harmony, orderliness and plastic perfection. From the Greek colonies in Italy, the cult of A. penetrated into Rome, where this god took one of the first places in religion and mythology; Augustus declared A. his patron and established centuries-old games in honor of him, the temple of A. near the Palatine was one of the richest in Rome.

Maykov Apollon Nikolaevich – biography of the poet, personal life, photos, portraits, poems, books

“My entire biography is not in external facts, but in the course and development of inner life …” – said the poet. The lyrics of Apollo Maykov were a reflection of his life – hobbies, political views and historical events that he witnessed.

Literature or painting?

Apollon Maikov was born into a noble family. He inherited his love for art from his parents, representatives of the creative intelligentsia. Father, Nikolai Maikov, was an academician of painting, mother, Evgenia Maikova, was a writer and poetess. “The Maikovs’ house was seething with life, people who brought here inexhaustible content from the sphere of thought, science, arts,” recalled the writer Ivan Goncharov, who gave literature and Russian language lessons to the family.

Growing up in such an environment, Apollon Maikov was sure that he would devote his life to art. He was equally gifted in both literature and painting, but he decided to opt for poetry for two reasons: his youthful poems were highly appreciated by the literary historian Alexander Nikitenko and the poet Pyotr Pletnev, and developing myopia prevented him from devoting enough time to painting.

“His poems are reminiscent of ancient poets”

Entering the law faculty of St. Petersburg University in 1837, Apollon Maikov began to study ancient Greek and Roman history. This passion influenced his work. Contemporaries wrote: “He seems to look at life through the eyes of a Greek, his poems are reminiscent of ancient poets, they have a bright and optimistic beginning.”

Maykov’s first works were published in the late 1830s. In 1842, his first poetry collection was published. “A poetic, full of life and certainty language” – this is how Vissarion Belinsky commented on the book of the young poet. Admiring Maykov’s work “Dream”, the critic wrote: “Pushkin himself would have had this poem among his best anthological plays.”

For this collection, Apollon Maykov received an allowance from Emperor Nicholas I. With the money he received, he went on a trip to Europe, which lasted almost two years. The poet visited Italy, France, Austria and other countries.

He shared his impressions of the trip with readers in a new collection – Essays on Rome, published in 1847 in St. Petersburg. Literary critics noted that his work had changed: from antiquity he moved on to modern life, he began to be more interested in the poetry of “thoughts and feelings”.

Petrashevsky circle and natural school

Returning to the capital in 1844, Apollon Maykov became a prominent figure in the literary circles of St. Petersburg. He actively collaborated with the Sovremennik and Otechestvennye Zapiski magazines, was friends with Vissarion Belinsky, Nikolai Nekrasov and Ivan Turgenev.

With the help of his brother, Valerian, Apollo also got to the meeting of the first socialist circle in Russia, organized by Mikhail Petrashevsky. There, the poet began a close acquaintance with Fyodor Dostoevsky and Alexei Pleshcheev. Although Maikov did not share all the views of the natural school, the influence of this literary movement still affects his work. The poems of the 1840s are full of civic motifs. Maykov published his poems in the journal Otechestvennye Zapiski by Andrey Kraevsky, and in 1845 he wrote the poem Two Fates, for which he received the Pushkin Prize of the Academy of Sciences. In 1846, the poem “Mashenka” was published in the “Petersburg Collection” by Nikolai Nekrasov.

… On the shelf of a book – yes, about a man
You can probably conclude
According to his chosen library,
In his soul, in the concepts of reading –
Goldoni’s comedies lay there,
The history of the Madonna and saints,
Opera libretto, poems Tassoni
Yes, the calendar of temple processions…

When many members of Petrashevsky’s circle were exiled, Maikov changed his attitude towards the revolutionary movement in Russia. Later, in notes to the poet Yakov Polonsky, he spoke of his “liberal period”: “A lot of nonsense, a lot of selfishness and little love. <…> It was my stupidity, but not meanness.”

Slavophiles and “pure art”

Since the 1850s, Apollon Maikov became close to the Moskvityanin editors, and conservative moods are increasingly felt in his work. Maykov shared the Slavophile ideas of Mikhail Pogodin (publisher of the magazine), Mikhail Katkov, Fyodor Tyutchev. During this period, the poet opposed the influence of Western European culture. He wrote a lot about the beauty of Russian nature. These poems, according to the publicist Mikhail Borodkin, “were memorized almost with the first prayers.” Many of Maykov’s works were set to music by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Pyotr Tchaikovsky and other composers.

A little later, the poet began to lean towards “pure art” in his work. Maikov believed that literature should not fulfill special social tasks, it should serve only for aesthetic pleasure.

The poet was fond of the history of Ancient Russia and Slavic folklore. In 1866-1870 he translated The Tale of Igor’s Campaign. Researchers of ancient Russian literature recognized his poetic translation as one of the best.

In 1882, Maykov, a real state councilor, became chairman of the Foreign Censorship Committee. During this period, the poet almost did not create new works. He was mainly engaged in editing his works and preparing collected works.

Apollon Maykov died in 1897 in St. Petersburg, was buried in the cemetery at the Resurrection Novodevichy Convent.

Apollo – biography, appearance and character of the Greek god

Character history

Lord of the sun, patron of musicians, talented soothsayer, healer, brave hero, father of many children – the Greek Apollo includes many images. The eternally young and ambitious god honestly won his own place on Olympus. A favorite of women and brave men, he ranks second in the pantheon of divine rulers.

History of creation

According to modern researchers, the image of Apollo did not originate in Greece at all. Myths and legends about the radiant god came to the country from Asia Minor. The unusual name of the deity confirms the theory.

Statue of Apollo

The meaning of the god’s name has become a mystery not only for modern scientists, but also for the philosophers of Ancient Greece. Plutarch put forward the version that “Apollo” is translated as “assembly”. The theory has no basis, since the name is not mentioned anywhere in such a context.

The second proof of the theory about the borrowing of Apollo from Asia is the combination of contradictory functions in one person. Apollo appears before people as both a positive character and a punishing god. Such an image is not typical for the mythology of Ancient Greece. In any case, the golden-haired god took pride of place on Olympus, yielding in greatness only to his own father, Zeus.

Apollo and Zeus

The cult of Apollo began its procession from the island of Delos and gradually captured the whole country, including the Italian colonies of Greece. From there, the power of the sun god extended to Rome. But, despite the vast territory of influence, it was Delos and the city of Delphi that became the center of service to the deity. On the territory of the latter, the Greeks erected the Delphic Temple, where the oracle sat, the interpretation of dreams which revealed the secrets of the future.

Biography and image

The Greek god was born on the coast of the island of Delos. At the same time as the boy, the twin sister Artemis was born. Children are the fruit of the love of Zeus the Thunderer and the Titanides Leto (in another version of Latona). The woman had to wander through the sky and water, since Hera, the official wife of Zeus, forbade the Titanide to step on solid ground.

Twins Artemis and Apollo

Like all children of Zeus, Apollo quickly grew up and matured. The gods of Olympus, proud and pleased with the replenishment, presented gifts to the young deity and his sister. The most memorable was the gift of Hephaestus – a silver bow and golden arrows. With the help of this weapon, Apollo will accomplish many feats.

The description of the appearance of the eternally young deity is peculiar. Unlike most heroes of Greece, Apollo did not wear a beard, preferring to open his face to the outside world. The metaphor “golden-haired”, often used in relation to God, allows us to conclude that Apollo is blond.

A young man of average height and average build moves quickly and silently around the world, easily catching up with his athletic sister. Nowhere is the god’s daunting beauty mentioned, but the number of love victories suggests that Apollo exudes magnetism and charm.

Apollo and Daphne

However, in the life of God there was also unhappy love. Daphne, whose myth perfectly characterizes the youth of Apollo, became the victim of an unpleasant story. The young god, confident in his own abilities, ridiculed Eros (the god of love), for which he received a love arrow in his heart. And the arrow of disgust flew straight into the heart of the nymph Daphne.

Apollo, in love, rushed after a girl who decided to hide from a persistent admirer. The sun god did not retreat, so the nymph’s father, who saw the torment of his daughter, turned Daphne into a laurel tree. The young man decorated his own clothes and a quiver for arrows with laurel foliage.

A young man spends his free time from exploits and worries listening to music. The cithara became the favorite instrument for Apollo. The young god is proud of his own success in music and often patronizes talented musicians. And what Apollo does not tolerate is boasting.

God Apollo

Cheerful satyr Marsyas, who picked up Athena’s flute, once challenged the young god to a contest. The man underestimated the talent of the son of Zeus. Marsyas lost the contest, and the proud and wayward Apollo, in punishment for his insolence, tore off the skin of the satyr.

The young god gets bored on Olympus, so Apollo often comes down to earth to chat with friends. Once a friendly meeting ended in death. The son of Zeus and Hyacinth, the son of the local king, launched a metal disk into the sky. Apollo did not calculate the force, and the projectile hit Hyacinthus in the head. God’s favorite died, Apollo could not save his friend. A flower bloomed at the site of the tragedy. Now every spring the hyacinth plant blooms, reminiscent of the friendship between God and man.

A distinctive characteristic of Apollo is an all-consuming love for his mother and sister. For the sake of the well-being of close women, the hero goes against the formidable father. Shortly after the birth, Apollo kills Python, a powerful snake that pursues Leto. For an uncoordinated act of revenge, Zeus overthrows the sun god, and Apollo must serve as a shepherd for eight years to make amends.

The second time Apollo stands up for his mother, when Leto is offended by Queen Niobe. Friends argued which of them is more prolific. To defend the honor of their mother, Apollo and Artemis shot all the children of Niobe.

Apollo on a chariot

Despite the frequent skirmishes, Apollo was given the title of his father’s favorite. This arrangement depresses Hera, the wife of the lord of Olympus. The goddess makes every effort to harm Apollo. However, the solar god only chuckles at the tricks of his stepmother.

The deity has a serious duty – Apollo with a chariot, which is harnessed by four horses, passes through the sky, illuminating the Earth. Often on the journey, the golden-haired god is accompanied by nymphs and muses.

Matured Apollo often starts romances. Unlike his father, a man appears before his beloved in his true form. The exceptions were Antenora (took the form of a dog) and Dryop (came twice in the form of a snake and a turtle). Despite the impressive love experience, Apollo never married. Moreover, often the beloved of God did not remain faithful to a man.

Euripides, Pythagoras, Asclepius – children of Apollo

But Apollo takes care of his own sons excessively. Among the offspring of the god are Euripides, Pythagoras, Janus, Orpheus and Asclepius. The latter greatly angered his grandfather, for which he was killed by Zeus. The offended Apollo, in revenge, interrupted the Cyclopes, who created magic lightning for the lord of Olympus.

Interesting facts

• Nietzsche claimed that Apollo is the personification of order and light, while the opposite qualities in mythology are represented by Dionysus. The god of winemaking encourages supporters to break the rules that the son of Zeus imposes.
• Apollo is in good physical condition. The young man easily defeated the god of war Ares in a fistfight.
• Writer Rick Riordan provided his own take on the character. In the book “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” the reader gets acquainted with the modern reckless son of Zeus.

SOYUZ-APOLLO: Exchange Program Celebrating the Anniversary of the Docking of USSR and US Spacecraft
