BREAKTHROUGH SAN FRANCISCO

WHAT IS BREAKTHROUGH?

Breakthrough is an amazing opportunity for students and families. Our goal is to support motivated students on the path to college by helping them develop the skills they need to be successful in an academically rigorous setting. Accepted students participate in our year-round, tuition-free, out of school-time programming until the end of middle school with ongoing workshops and support throughout high school. We provide middle school, high school, and college admissions support, and create an inclusive and collaborative community where students can thrive.

 

BREAKTHROUGH PROGRAM 

This is an eight year commitment (grades 5-12) for students who know they want to go to college and are willing to take advantage of the great opportunities and resources Breakthrough has to offer, which include:

  • academically intensive, skills-based summer programming the summers before 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades,
  • comprehensive school-year programming with after-school tutoring and enrichment twice a week during the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade school years, 
  • middle and high school admissions support to enter high performing, best fit schools,
  • test prep, college exposure through college talks and visits, admissions counseling and personal enrichment workshops during the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades

Participating students must demonstrate academic motivation as well as meet our need criteria. For more information and a link to our application (coming soon), check out our website
