You have come to the right place. We are unlike any other school in this city and we are happy you are interested in bettering the life of your student at our top-rated school.

​To find out what makes us different, see below:

ENROLL YOUR STUDENT

​+SOCIAL IDENTITY
History repeats itself. We know this. We also know that enabling students to discover more about their personal history and the history of others allows them to change their outcomes. This country is full of stories, perspectives, families, and neighborhoods whose stories have not been told in our country's education system, until now.
​
Identity Studies // Racial Equity Trainings // Healing Circles
Mental and Physical Health //  Reflection Skills // Urban History 


​+ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
High GPAs and graduation rates are happening in urban areas. Academics are crucial to allowing our students the opportunity at becoming independent learners. Through tutoring, in-the-field mentorship, and NWEA/ACT test prep, we ensure our urban students surpass the academic maturity of their peers elsewhere. Our students must realize that academics are at the center of what it will take for them to reach their dreams.
 
Common-Core Alignment // World-Class Enrichment // Discussion-Based Learning // Academic Prioritizing Skills

​
+CIVIC ENGAGEMENT.
Giving someone tools doesn't fix a broken car. We must make sure that our young urban students are being taught ways to navigate their academic, political, and professional worlds. This is the reason why we offer the most comprehensive programming of civic engagement skills, public speaking, perspective training, and workshops that empower our young voices, allowing them to forever change the landscape of this nation's many diverse neighborhoods.
