On Wednesday, August 20, 2008 from 6:00-8:00pm at the Johns Hopkins School of Education Building located at 2800 N. Charles Street, the Urban Leadership Institute will be hosting an open house for boys entering the7th grade in the fall of 2008, for admittance into PRAISE, a Saturday school on the campus of JHU.
ULI created PRAISE 4 years ago, to provide a positive educational alternative for young males in Baltimore City, while emphasizing a sound academic instruction assuring that its students’ minds are developed at a level that will allow them to compete in a global, technological society. Over the past four years, PRAISE has educated over 120 boys, and helped to advance over 15 boys into private schools in Baltimore City and Baltimore County. Moreover, PRAISE scholars have been challenged to achieve and maintain a high standard of excellence through a strong academic program in a disciplined environment.
As an independent Saturday school/program for middle school boys aged 11 – 13, PRAISE has, and will continue to work with some of the most complex students attending Baltimore City Public Schools, to help ensure a successful academic career.
In order to attend this special session, you must RSVP by calling Bettye Blaize at 410-467-1605. Space is limited!
