Learning Assistants will provide individual and small group tutoring to students by integrating effective study and learning strategies to maximize each student’s potential for academic success.
Program Objective
Project SHELL tracks student data and outcomes to further the success and continuation of student and community needs.
In addition to services provided during the school day, students have the opportunity to take part in weekend and summer academies that will deliver culturally-relevant, evidence-based learning to equip youth with the knowledge and skills to improve their educational achievement and assist their readiness to confidently pursue college and careers.
