School of the Greats in a nutshell...

The School of the Greats is an after-school homework and scientific discovery program that supports the educational success and academic resilience of vulnerable elementary and college students through a mentoring relationship.

 

 

Homework assistance is available for French and mathematics classes. Students also take part in scientific experiments and introductory activities in computer programming.

The activities take place on Saturday mornings of the school year, in the classrooms and laboratories of the local college. School transportation, as well as lunch, are offered to all participants. The program is free and the college mentors are volunteers. They may receive a student engagement mention on their report card.
