Aspiration Academy will provide intellectual coaching and mentoring to students from lower-income families that are
already above grade level.
Sound counter-intuitive? Please read on.
Students above grade level are usually capable of high performance. However, these students may require educational programs and experiences different from or in addition to those provided by the regular school program. Above grade level students from lower-income families require even more attention.
MISCONCEPTION: Students who are above grade level can make it on their own. They can succeed without help.
FACT: Students with superior intellectual development do not automatically succeed if proper instruction and counseling do not occur. Many school dropouts had previously been identified as gifted and talented. Students who are above grade level can easily be at risk at risk for underachievement during the educational years and on their jobs during their adult years. Students with above average intellectual development will not always succeed without help.
