The benefits of a private high school education:
- The graduation rate for private high school students is higher than that of public school students.**
- Minority students who graduate from private high schools are more than twice as likely to attend four-year colleges than their counterparts in public schools.**
We assist at-risk youth from moderately low to low-income families in receiving a quality private high school education by providing the guidance of an adult mentor and tuition assistance. Families, schools and mentors form a partnership to help youth attain the tools to succeed.
