Reach for Excellence is a tuition-free academic and leadership enrichment program that empowers determined learners and expands their possibilities in the classroom, in the community, and in life. Reach offers students of limited income a mix of academic, cultural, and community-based experiences that prepare them for the challenges of college-preparatory programs and high schools. The program takes place following a student's 6th, 7th and 8th grade years and includes weekend and summer sessions.
The
Society of Mary founded Reach for Excellence in 2001, and the program is hosted on Marist School's campus.
