Program areas at MEF
Midtown/Metro Achievement Program (7th-8th) - Math, science, and english courses prepare students to enter a college preparatory high school, and ultimately, college. Character development is strongly emphasized through individual advising. Students acquire the habits of successful people of good character.
One-On-One (4th-6th grade) - Young professional volunteers act as individual tutors/mentors for students. Weekly sessions aim to encourage good attitudes toward learning, assist students with homework, present positive role models for students and develop in students the study habits associated with high achievers.
College Orientation Program (9th-12th grade) - The Centers help students prepare for college entrance exams and explore college options. Students engage in enrichment activities such as cultural field trips, college tours and service projects.
Parenting Program - The Centers provided seminars and other forms of support for parents, since parental leadership is key to MEF's philosophy.
