Tutors care for a student at The Beloved Community Excellence in Education After-School Program
Tutors care for a student at The Beloved Community Excellence in Education After-School Program
Showing measurable results is very important to The Beloved Community.  Attention to this is paid both during our application process before entering the program and our evaluation process throughout.  Students entering our Bethune Carver Scholars cohort must be recommended by their teacher for excellence in both academia and conduct.  They begin applying in 6th grade by submitting a series of essays.  Parents are also asked to actively participate in the process by helping to ensure that their child has consistent attendance, completes all homework assignments, and reviews and discusses college readiness information.  We also conduct mid and year-end evaluations of student performance in the areas of literacy, math and science to ensure that academic benchmarks are met.  To date, 91% of students from our inaugural cohort are still successful participants.
