My Project

Our campus is a certified AVID campus. One of the aspects of this program is to teach our scholars about planning effectively and time management, and the way it is done is by the use of a student planner.

Our scholars will use these planners to help them keep track of important assignment dates, school and personal events.

For we all know that proper planning prevents poor performance.

100% of our students come from a low socioeconomic home/income and they can barely afford the basic school supplies, as well as uniforms.
