STEAMS Academy

Our S.T.E.A.M.S Academy encourages collaboration to understand a S.T.E.M concept. By integrating concepts and practices of the arts, our students use tools such as data visualization or fine art imagery to deepen one’s understanding of science, math and technology.

Pathway to YOUR Future

Pathway to YOUR Future is designed specifically to prepare, teach, and support high school students' transition into adulthood. The goal is to be able to provide high school students with different course certification opportunities to increase post-grad jobs right out of high school. 

The parent mentor program is designed for Latina and Black mothers to help fill persistent equity gaps by volunteering in classrooms for 2 hours/day. The Parent  Mentors are supported by weekly training on class-room instructional practices and leadership training.
