Overview
Mission
The Academic Zone is an volunteer based education support program for students that are economically marginalized. The Zone is a education through sports, the arts, and science program. Our students develop a love for information and are socialized to be juiced by information. They will be life long learners.We support students and their families through the middle school, high school, and college application process. Our free Summer Institute and After School Institute will be an asset to parents who normally are not given quality academic opportunities for their children. Our scholars will experience non traditional sports such as golf, tennis, and fencing. Our scholars are well rounded and are expected to excel. Excellence is contagious and our families are excited about the growth of the students we work with.
What it reported doing in 2018
The Academic Zone is a volunteer based community that provides an educational opportunity through sports, the arts, and science. We support parents and students as they navigate the middle school, high school, and college application process. We accept 30 new students and their families annually. The Zone provides an opportunity for children to give back through community service. Our scholar must do some type of community annually. We provide an opportunity for our scholars to be exposed to non traditional sports such as fencing, golf, and tennis. This Summer Institute will role out our Basketball Institute. We will bridge the academic gap of summer through basketball. It is our feeling that everyone is not going to the NBA. We have created a six module curriculum and students will get a feel for other aspects that make professional sports happen. (Our Six Module Curriculum: Leadership and Character, Coaching, Table Management, Sports Medicine, Sports Casting, Officiating) This free student centered Summer Institute will be run by our middle school and high school students. In September, we will roll out our After School Institute. Our Mission is to continue to provide quality service and support for our students and families.
