Our Purpose
Our mission is to change lives for the better. We aim to open doors to knowledge, faith, and opportunity for our students, their families, and the entire Back of the Yards community.
How We Help Students Grow
Our educational model is designed to give every student the support they need.
Individualized Attention
Our small 1:9 teacher-to-student ratio allows us to provide intensive support. We have specialists for math and reading, counselors, and staff dedicated to helping English language learners thrive.
A Love for Reading
We dedicate 80 minutes every day to reading support. This focus helps our students read an average of 120 books a year, building strong literacy skills.
Expanding Horizons
Beyond the classroom, our Renaissance Program and other enrichment activities introduce students to the arts, leadership training, coding, cooking, sports, chess, and nature retreats.
