The Good Citizen Initiative
We raise our teens with the singular goal of making them college application ready. But, in a world where every child is on the honor roll, young adults who are equipped with making big decisions now will thrive both in their personal and professional lives later.
Our goal is to help your high schooler explore their interests and get ready for the real world with a compelling story to tell. Let’s not forget, resumes don’t build themselves overnight.
Our initiative The Good Citizen Initiative for 9th to 12th graders is designed to Engage, Energize and Empower them.

Our Learning Objectives
We use the INQUIRY METHOD to derive the answer from the student. We also inform them that we’re encouraging them “to take ownership of their own learning” by not giving away the answers immediately.
Our learning objectives for our students are:
• Forging a solid relationship of trust and engagement with the student.
• Introduce ideas and definitions of Coding.
• Help understand reasons and real life applications for Coding.
Ask any child why they why they play video games. And usually they will reply “For fun”. So how about create a curriculum that’s fun, engaging and collaborative? That’s exactly what we do here at FutureSTRONG Academy.
