The Saturday Institute
The Saturday Institute is a core programmatic initiative of the Eagle Academy. This innovative resource provides value-added academic and life-skills training and development to all students of the Academy. This program effectively relates the curriculum to the lives of these young men and provides real life skills and discourse on various topics, including responsibility in the family, social skills and community service. The Saturday Institute also encompasses the following:
• Life skills training
• Cultural literacy
• Adolescent socialization
• Remedial and advanced reading, mathematics, science, communication and technology tutoring sessions
• Group mentoring
• Stock market training and financial literacy
• SAT PREP
• Guidance counseling sessions
• "How to Help Your Child," parent sessions
• Other weekly/monthly special workshops that support and enhance the Eagle Academy's curriculum
We believe that through a formidable resource of successful professionals who serve as mentors, licensed teachers and guidance counselors, we provide a value-added service that serves as a companion and supplement to the culture and program of excellence that is advanced at the school during the week.
