Mother Caroline Academy and Education Center

The Academy is a tuition free school (grade 3-8) serving approximately 70 girls from economically disadvantaged families. We seek to develop young women with a strong sense of self-confidence and esteem for themselves and others and instill leadership qualities which will enable them later in life to serve the needs of their broader communities. During the mandatory after-school program, students engage in a variety of activities such as sports, art, and cooking. The evening study program helps students complete homework assignments and/or provides tutoring. Graduate support is provided. 100% of our girls graduate from high school and 95% graduate from college.

The mentoring program seeks to provide support to current 7th and 8th grade students of mcaec in preparation for transition away from the mcaec school environment, into private high schools, and ultimately to college. The program served approximately 25 students during the current year.
