Our Mission

Graduation Academy exists to close the achievement and opportunity gaps for all students by providing wholistic support, intentional planning driven by data with no excuses and high expectations for success.

Our Vision

By identifying the strengths and talents of Graduation Academy scholars, we strive to provide support, in collaboration with referring high schools, as they embrace life’s challenges, meet graduation requirements, become responsible citizens and obtain the skills needed to meet their post-secondary goals.
