The goal is a superior education program for youth of all backgrounds, but specifically designed to accept intellectually bright youth of extremely challenged families or environments. By voluntarily enrolling in the charter boarding school the students will be provided with an environment aimed at academic excellence, development of moral character, individual confidence and moral pride, and a superior opportunity to gain acceptance into colleges and universities.
It is asserted that the cost of fostering and cultivating the identified “class” of young people in the proposed mode will overwhelmingly outweigh the possible alternative costs of social delinquency and or crime. The alternatives are educated human beings with the potential to live full lives contributing to society and their families, or individuals whose lives may lead to victims, violence, court costs and repeated cycles of incarceration. The goal is to take a major step in breaking a vicious cycle.
Please note:
We welcome, support, suggestions and contacts in support of this education mission.
Also, as we build this site and learn more we will change content and detail.
However, our goal of excellence in education and character formation for youth from challenged environments will be constant.
