WHO WE ARE

**This is for a **global education network serving more than 6,000 students from under
- resourced communities in India, Jamaica, Mexico, South Africa, and the US (Indianapolis). Our vision is for our students to break the cycle of poverty. Our goal is that they will achieve upward economic mobility, become good citizens, and identify and realize their goals, dreams, and human potential. To achieve this goal, the school is holistic, purposefully integrating academics, leadership and character development, health & social services, and college & careers. In recognition of the critical role our students’ parents and caregivers play, the school provides intentional programming to support and partner with them. Students begin their journey as early as pre-Kindergarten (in some locations) and continue through high school. Once they graduate, the alumni are actively supported in our College & Careers program for five years to best empower them to achieve their individual goals and aspirations.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We are unwavering in the belief that our students’ potential is not limited by their experience with poverty. By providing them with the right interventions, connecting them to empowering opportunities, and intentionally developing their sense of agency and self-efficacy, we equip our students with the skills and knowledge to pursue and achieve their goals and aspirations. Our graduates are prepared to take a seat at the table of life.
