The On Track Program: Foundations for Success 

The On Track Program is the leadership and educational empowerment program for students of color in grades 5-8 that provides an experience and education that you just can't get in school. 

Over the course of 10 Saturdays a year, children are able to develop critical skill sets and make friends who share similar experiences while receiving mentorship from talented and experienced instructors of color.

On Track's goal is to enhance identity development and social awareness in students, thereby improving overall school achievement and performance. The program creates opportunities for students of color from different independent schools to expand their social network. Our dynamic classes in Communication and Math Life Skills enhance the "Foundations" leadership curriculum. These interactive classes reinforce character building and give students a sense of accomplishment.  All classes are designed to be fun, interactive and thought-provoking.
