Family Academy is a program that works with third graders and their families to enrich their academic skills in reading and math. We work with families in six core areas: Literacy, Financial Education and Budgeting, Safety, Social and Cultural Skills, Work Preparedness and Life Skills, Health and Nutrition and Arts and Creativity. Families come to the academy for eight week sessions throughout the school year.
