Middle Achievers Program

6th through 8th grade

The middle school program is designed for sixth through eighth grade. Research shows that this age group experiences the second largest period of brain development in their lifetime, creating a valuable opportunity for our program to help students develop and refine their decision-making skills, personal identities, social connections, attitudes toward academics and career pursuits, and to prevent juvenile delinquency. This after-school program will begin in the fall of 2025, with registration opening on January 1, 2025.

What The Parents Have To Say

Shikita H.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the incredible impact you've had on Charles during the courses he attended with you. The growth I've seen in him has been remarkable, and it's clear that your guidance and teaching have played a big part in that. Charles would come home excited to share what they learned, and to prepare for the next day. Thank you for your dedication and the difference you're making in his life and other youth.
