Key Features:

Personalized Learning Plans (PLPs)

Each student receives a customized learning plan
based on academic assessments, learning styles,
interests, and personal goals.

One-on-One & Small Group Instruction

Students are paired with licensed teachers who
provide consistent academic support and use evidence-based instructional strategies such as the 7 steps.

Flexible Learning Modalities

Support is offered in-person, online, or in hybrid
formats to accommodate different schedules and
learning preferences.

The Personalized Academic Support Program (PASP) is a student-centered initiative designed to meet the unique learning needs, goals, and challenges of each student. By combining data-driven insights with evidence-based instructional strategies grounded in cultural responsiveness and equity, Empowering African Youth ensures that every K–12 student enrolled in our academic program receives the guidance, resources, and support they need to thrive both academically, culturally, and socioemotionally.

Empowering African Youth delivers academic services through its Learning Center for Academic Excellence, a safe and inclusive space where students can access essential learning tools such as the Internet, computers, printers, textbooks, blackboards, and more.

These centers are designed not only to support academic achievement but also to foster curiosity, creativity, and confidence in learners. Students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning journey, working collaboratively to build individualized learning plans that reflect each student’s strengths, interests, and aspirations.
