Then, once per week, Mater Ecclesiae Academy conducts class sessions to provide the students with collective learning opportunities and a setting which supports their academic, social, and spiritual development.

To empower “at risk” students to recognize and understand the importance of math as a means to achieving excellence. We are dedicated to making sure our students are well equipped to adequately compete in today’s society. We strongly believe that increasing math knowledge and standardized test scores are at the foundation of breakthrough results. Our goal is for each student to truly believe and embrace the powerful statement, “Math is my friend™”, thereby increasing his or her knowledge, confidence and focus in math. As a result, the student’s grades and standardized test scores in math will improve, opening endless opportunities to excel in business, industry, sports, entertainment, education, and most importantly, everyday life.

The Growing Leaders Initiative is a 501c3 organization that exists to provide habitudes (character-based, student-leadership development) to schools that cannot afford to purchase programs for their students. In both urban and rural environments, students are confined emotionally, behaviorally, and spiritually. In some places, students never leave a 9-block radius or a 9-mile radius from their home.

We want to broaden their vision, and help them take bigger risks, think bigger thoughts, and pursue bigger goals. We want to enable them to become the best version of themselves.
