Higher Achievement Program

Higher Achievement operates after school Achievement centers in dc, md, and va, providing academic enrichment to students during the most critical time in a child's development: middle school. Dedicated middle school scholars enroll in 5th or 6th grade and commit to attending programming multiple days a week during the school year for three to four years. Higher Achievement offers academic enrichment, mentoring, and social-emotional skill building, culminating in scholars' placement in college preparatory high schools. Higher Achievement has been the subject of two randomized controlled trial studies, both demonstrating a statistically significant effect in academics. Higher Achievement supports the growth of scholars' talent and connects them with opportunities that foster their success in high school and beyond.
