Program Description: Youth Opportunity University (Y.O.U.) is a 7-week summer enrichment experience designed to inspire, engage, and equip scholars through academic, artistic, and faith-based learning. Each week features dynamic activities including field trips, Bible study, daily devotion, swimming, and enrichment sessions in dance, culinary arts, mindfulness, science, physical education, and visual arts. We will continue our focus on the Beatitudes, Fruit of the Spirit, and African American Studies, along with unpacking the Growth Mindset model to encourage perseverance, reflection, and self-awareness.

Scholars will participate in hands-on learning focused on key academic standards in math, language arts, and writing, supported by assessments and personalized instruction.

We are excited to continue the 8th Grade Academy and expand the middle school experience for scholars in grade six and seven!

We encourage early registration to secure your scholar’s spot.
