If you do just one thing today, watch the video above and meet Luis, one of our Scholars.
Luis has been with us since the sixth grade, and has participated in the year-round academy, including the summer program. As Luis grows with us, our team has noticed his incredible potential as a leader. He takes initiative to ask questions, and advocates for his classmates and other Scholars. When given an opportunity to do Ambassador work, he typically leaps at the opportunity, especially when he’s able to teach people about NGS. Now an 8th grader, we love to see him lead with confidence!
While Luis is just one of our participants, we’re proud to say that Next Generation Scholars LEARN as young as the first grade during our Little Scholars summer program.
According to Governors Early Literacy Foundation, “A more recent study of children in 3rd to 5th grades also showed that students lost, on average, about 20% of their school-year gains in reading and 27% of their school-year gains in math during summer break.”
This is why our Summer Program is designed to keep students engaged and on track, not only preparing them for the academic year, but also encouraging them to explore new interests and passions.
Additionally, our Scholars receive an additional 1600+ hours of personalized and academic counseling tutoring after school (Monday-Thursdays, 2-7pm), on the weekends (Sundays).
We understand that learning is a lifelong journey.
That’s why we commit to being their constant guide throughout the 12+ years of a student’s academic journey, and we stay with them from the first grade to their first careers.
Thanks to your support, we can support Scholars like Luis on their quest to LEARN as much as possible to set them up for success in college and in their professional careers.
