The Winburn Academy

The Winburn Academy helps middle school students prepare to go to college. It is an extended school service in partnership with Winburn Middle School designed to help improve the academic performance, behavior, and attendance of at-risk African-American and Latin@ students. The Winburn Academy provides mentoring, educational enrichment, extracurricular activities, and service learning opportunities. Through this program, our goals are to narrow the academic achievement gap, improve student work habits and self-efficacy, and reduce the number of school absences, while providing a safe and fun community where students can grow.
