Mission Statement

Learning & Educational Solutions (L.E.S) is dedicated to transforming the lives of at-risk students by addressing the root causes of school dropouts and empowering them to achieve self-efficacy. Through our innovative ROAD 2 Model--Removing Obstacles, Achieving Dreams--we provide the resources, guidance, and support necessary for students, families, and communities to overcome barriers to education. Specializing in Educational Crisis Management, non-pedagogical intervention services, and creating resources for underserved families and communities, L.E.S works tirelessly to improve educational outcomes and foster holistic development. By collaborating with parents, school staff, and students, we bridge the gap between home and school to ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed academically and beyond.

Description

For nearly 10 years, we have worked with disengaged middle school and high students at-risk of dropping out of NYC public schools, who are typically overage and under-credited. These students may have experienced chronic absenteeism, school transfers, disciplinary issues, or personal hardships such as housing instability, caregiving responsibilities, or mental health struggles. Many have fallen behind in credits and require alternative pathways.

Programming Highlights: Dropout Prevention Services provides comprehensive support to overage and under-credited students who require alternative educational pathways to complete their high school graduation requirements. Through personalized outreach and interventions, wellness checks, and family and needs assessments conducted by our Educational Crisis Team, we engage students who have disengaged or dropped out of school, connecting them to transfer schools, CTE programs, or work/study opportunities tailored to their needs, ensuring that each student receives the guidance and resources necessary to re-enter and thrive in their educational journey.

Road 2 Graduation (R2G): R2G provides direct academic and social-emotional support to high school students struggling to meet graduation requirements. Experienced Educational Specialists work closely with students, offering in-class and remote tutoring, test preparation, and real-time assistance to ensure coursework is completed successfully.
