Who we are
Established in 2000, licensed in the State of Ohio, Broad Street Achievement (BSA) programs provide out-of-school academic enrichment services for K-12 youth and their families.
Our Vision
BSA will help prepare youth in the Broad Street Presbyterian Church community as for high school graduation, successful transition to post-secondary education, and the workforce.
Our Mission is to create a structured program environment in which participants can develop as inclusive, healthy, safe, and happy citizens.
Our Goal is to deliver quality programming that supports the development of essential life skills (academic achievement, healthy living, and career achievement).
Our Primary Objectives are to:
- Academic Assessment: Through personalized pre-, interim-, and post-assessments, develop academic enrichment plans in support of 100% of our program youth’s academic skills improvement. Read more…
- Academic Enrichment: Through homework assistance, reading and math tutoring, hands-on and on line learning experiences, provide 100% academic achievement support to youth and families. Read more…
