End of the Year Program Updates

Before we jump into 2024, we want to share some updates on our programming efforts for this semester. Our team has been diligently working to implement new ideas and tools to help us make an even greater impact on our community.

During the initial Journey of a King program sessions, students engaged in pre-assessments, which gave program managers a better outlook on each student at every grade level, both academically and mentally.

During our more recent program sessions, our Prince Charming students (4th-5th grade) are testing their reading comprehension using their National Geographic and Sports Illustrated subscriptions.

Our Measures of a Man students (6th-8th grade) are learning the importance of teamwork using Breakout EDU, an educational gaming software that engages students through collaborative activities. While in breakout sessions, the students learn how to process their emotions and build character through innovative programming. 

Our Scholars & Gentlemen students (9th-12th grade) take an even deeper dive into character building by learning more about themselves through the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality tests. This questionnaire can determine an individual’s personality, strengths, future education, and more. Students can use the test results to gain a better perspective on themselves and the world around them.
