You’ve heard it before, college isn’t for everyone. It’s true, and also true that many have succeeded without it. But having the option, graduating high school with the reading, writing, and math skills needed to compete, is everyone’s due.

Their approaches vary widely, with one grounding their instruction in African traditions, while another focuses on western principles of law. However, in all instances they are affirming daily that schools can create a culture of success that can work for all students.
