Our Vision

Our vision is to unlock our students' potential so that every student K-3 performs on grade level.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help disadvantaged K–3 students read on grade level by fourth grade through evidence-based after-school learning and strong partnerships with families, schools, and the community.

Our Core Values

· Equity & Access

We believe every child deserves a fair start. We are committed to removing barriers and providing free, high-quality, evidence-based instruction to help every student reach grade-level success.

· Courage & Commitment

We lead with courage—advocating boldly for students, taking initiative, and staying dedicated to our mission even when the work is hard.

· Whole-Child Development

We nurture the mind, heart, and body. Academic learning is integrated with social, emotional, and physical growth in a safe and caring space.

· Integrity & Accountability

We do what we say we’ll do. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, use data to guide our work, and remain transparent in our decisions and outcomes.

· Learning & Excellence

We are lifelong learners who value curiosity, growth, and high expectations—for our students and ourselves. We use proven, research-based methods to support measurable learning outcomes.

· Compassion & Connection

We lead with empathy. We honor the lived experiences of our students and families, and we build meaningful relationships rooted in trust and care.

· Partnership & Community

We believe in collective impact. By working hand in hand with families, schools, and neighbors, we create a strong, integrated network of support for every child.
