We utilize state of the art education technology to keep them at the edge of their ability and build a strong literacy and math foundation.Every student has a curriculum individualized to their needs supported by a diverse network of volunteer tutors and academic staff.When our students enter our high school program they have the confidence and skill set to pursue a college education through our resource-laden College Bound Program.These students also play in our competitive and developmental soccer program.We emphasize skill acquisition, individual responsibility to grow as a player, and teamwork.Our focus starts on teaching individual skills and then the team dynamics. We put individuals first and that makes our teams strong. We teach our students how to work hard to learn skills and this knowledge/value transfers to other parts of their lives.
