Prior to the pandemic Georgia students were faring poorly: 78 % of Black, 78 % of Hispanic and 55 % of White 4th grade public school students could not read at grade level in 2015. 85 % of Black, 79 % of Hispanic and 57% of White 8th grade public school students could not read at grade level in 2015. The pandemic added anxiety and toxic stress for the students. Suicide is the second-leading cause of death behind unintentional injury for children ages 10-17 in Georgia. The Thrive Tribe afterschool program will provide students with access to healthy food, engaging academic remediation, care for their physical and mental health, and supportive, highly qualified educators, mentors, and mental health professionals. Our programs serve at-risk preK-12 th grade students attending Title I schools in Gwinnett County. Parent seminars will equip parents with the skills and resource connections required to enable their students to thrive. Programs will include academic support, social and emotional enrichment activities, and family involvement activities in a safe, engaging environment where students learn through exploration. Specific goals in academics, modifying student behavior, and family engagement; undergo constant evaluation. The objectives will enable students to overcome education, employment, health, social and emotional challenges. Our curricula integrate Georgia standards (GELDS, GAKS, GPS, GAYDQS, and GSHS.
We are primarily funded by parent tuition. Due to the pandemic, we reduced class sizes, periodically closed to quarantine or isolate those who were suspected to be in close contact with COVID-19 cases and operated at a substantial loss. The Development Director creates and oversees the implementation of a strategic approach to fundraising which includes major gifts, corporate donations, grant solicitation, matching gifts, and in-kind resources.More opportunities with SHEPHERDS ACADEMY FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE
