Structured learning for middle school scholars

Guided academic work in cohort-based pods, each with a trained educator who knows the scholars and builds on their strengths. Scholars complete schoolwork in a structured environment that offers encouragement, relationship, and the kind of support that sticks.

Books that challenge and inspire

Our library draws from the Children's Defense Fund's multicultural Integrated Reading Curriculum, which goes beyond celebrating difference. It examines injustice directly, exploring the structural roots of oppression in history and today. We send books home to build home libraries and keep the learning alive.
