Summer Advantage empowers students in underserved neighborhoods to overcome summer learning loss by providing rigorous academic instruction in the morning paired with hands-on enrichment afternoons. Through research-based teaching and fun, high-impact experiences, we help students return to the school year stronger, more confident, and ready to zoom ahead. 

With many of our children currently years below grade level, the Reading Advantage Program is one of the many key initiatives that will help our scholars realize their potential and be able to use education to change their futures. The goal of this program is to improve reading proficiency by at least 10 percent each year and ultimately beat the district and beat the state. Fountas & Pinnell Leveled Literacy Instruction is an evidence-based comprehensive, systematic design for high-quality literacy instruction and a standardized approach to providing tier 2 instruction. At the beginning of the year, every scholar will be assessed using the F&P Benchmark Assessment System (BAS). Scholars are then grouped based on their level. RIs travel throughout the day, working with two groups of scholars in every class they visit for thirty minutes per group.

Skilled US is a 100% tuition-free program for adults (age 17+) designed to turn learning into earning. We partner with industry leaders to train students in in-demand fields—advanced manufacturing, health care, tech, construction, logistics, and more—so graduates walk into careers with credentials, skills, and pathways to growth.
