MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Our middle school programs equip students in grades 6–8 with the skills, exposure, and guidance they need to make confident, informed choices about their futures.
Our Initiatives
Through immersive learning experiences such as high school visits, college tours, and work-based learning, our Middle School Career Connected Learning program helps students build a sense of agency and begin setting meaningful postsecondary and career goals. These experiences introduce students to real-world opportunities and encourage early exploration of what is possible.
The Middle School Success Network focuses on strengthening the adults in students’ lives. We support teachers and school leaders with professional development, one-on-one coaching, and access to a network of educators who share insights and best practices.
By combining student exploration with educator support, our programs help ensure that young people enter high school with a sense of purpose and the tools needed to succeed.
We proudly serve students where they are.
