BELL foundation

Transforming children into scholars and leaders. "BELL exists to dramatically increase the academic achievements, self-esteem and life opportunities of children living in low-income, urban communities." We pursue our mission because we believe in the tremendous potential within all children, whom we call scholars. BELL´s after school and summer programs feature: • Tutoring in literacy and math with research-based and multicultural curricula. • Mentoring from positive adult role models to build self-esteem and respect for others. • Staff of committed certified teachers and trained college-age tutors. • Small-group instruction. • Experiential learning through guest speakers, field trips and service projects. • Support for parents to engage as advocates and facilitators of their children´s education. • Rigorous evaluation for demonstrating results and continually improving program.
