and globally competitive leaders – to be resilient,
responsible and respectful men. Through service learning and a
multi- cultural curriculum, the class aims to provide students
with the tools to succeed, including teamwork, leadership, life
skills, problem-solving and resiliency skills. The Academy
focuses on bringing together teachers, students, parents and
community businesses and partners to provide the encouragement
needed for these teens to complete high school and enroll in
college.
