Will you be one of our mentors and teachers?
If so, you will follow the advice of Aristotle,
"Love well, be loved and do something of value".
Some young scholars from lower-income families will soon have educational and cultural horizons expanded.
What is Aspiration Academy?
An afterschool program to cultivate the brains of students who are above grade level. A young athlete showing superior athletic prowess can expect extra coaching and mentoring. In similar fashion, Aspiration Academy scholars will be mentored, coached, nurtured, challenged, and inspired to reach their intellectual potential.
"Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him"
