Description

GEO Foundation Mission: 

A sign that hangs above the entrance to all GEO Academies reads, “Through these doors walk college graduates.” GEO Foundation believes that all children should have access to a quality education that includes college and that education can “Beat Poverty.”

To actualize these beliefs, GEO has systematically built a student-centered, content-rich K-12 educational model that provides a personalized and competency-based approach to learning necessary to close achievement gaps beginning in elementary schools, ensuring middle school students are on at least high school grade level by the summer before 9th grade, and ultimately preparing low-income students to begin college coursework on college campuses as early as 9th grade. By providing an accelerated pathway to college, beginning in kindergarten, GEO schools hope to break the cycle of poverty that is prevalent in the families and communities of the students we serve.
