Loving Our Scholars Means Doing Work that is Worthy of Them

  • We make a long-term commitment to our students and families to provide impactful programming to prepare them for college and careers. 
  • We are committed to measuring the impact of our programs through data to discover what works and what needs to be fixed. 
  • Our response to the systematic educational inequality our Scholars face is a system of enrichment and support that believes in the worthiness and success of our Scholars

 

Considering what our Scholars Face, Being Innovative is a Necessity 

  • Our staff is innovative, entrepreneurial, and talented and we are not afraid to pursue great ideas by taking risks, doing things differently, and implementing real change. 
  • We are dedicated to not wasting resources or time by ignoring great ideas…we need everyone’s help.
  • Ground-breaking partnerships and collaboration with Philadelphia area universities such at Drexel University, Temple University, and the University of Pennsylvania offer unique programming and networks to inspire work that influences students, families, and institutions

  • Being efficient and innovative makes our impact better and lives more balanced.
  • Opportunities to pursue professional, work-related projects and educational projects are important.
  • We offer free academic summer program for dependents of full-time staff from 4th – 12th grade.
