The "I Have A Dream" Foundation - New Jersey, provides programming to Thirteenth Avenue Elementary School's Pre-K through fourth-grade Dreamer Scholars. This programming includes academic enrichment/support, social and emotional learning, mentoring, and exploration. In alignment with Thirteenth Avenue's mission, we strive to provide scholars with high-quality programming that will prepare them for success in high school, college, and beyond. We support the love of learning by integrating what scholars learn daily with a strong focus on literacy, mathematics, social and emotional learning, and STEAM-focused programming.
The "I Have A Dream" Academy has a safe, loving, and fun learning environment, where all scholars and their families are accepted and treated with respect. We work with Thirteenth Avenue Scholars during day school, after school, on the weekends, and over the summer developing long-term relationships with Dreamer Scholars and their families.
