Summer Programming Starts July 8th!

Over 200 young scholars will be spending their summer in our Prep Scholars Academy, Middle School Prep, and High School Prep programs! These culturally relevant, academic enrichment programs are designed to provide educational experiences that prepare our scholars for the upcoming school year and beyond. From academic enrichment to leadership development, our summer programs offer a wide range of opportunities for growth and learning.
