What is Belonging — And Why Does it Matter in Today’s Divided, Lonely World? It’s not a buzzword, a checkbox or a synonym for diversity and inclusion. Psychologists and experts explain what belonging is, how it matters to you and why it’s more important than ever. Brandon Brito (College of the Holy Cross '20 and Excel Academy Charter Schools Associate Director of College and Career Counseling) talks about how he helps Excel Academy High School students navigate feelings of Imposter Syndrome as they create their post-secondary pathways. "To help his students, he spends time with them one-on-one: 'recalibrating or grounding students in what they’re capable of, unpacking a lot of their fears and insecurities and imposter syndrome, which are really real feelings.'" 📰 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e8XRfi9s

We are in awe of our families! The Providence City Council saw over 250 Excel and Achievement First families, staff, and board members in the gallery and Tuesday night and received 250+ letters voicing their support for our lease of the Carl G. Lauro building. We are steadfast in our commitment to you and your students to grow Excel and provide high-quality spaces and education through high school. 🏫💙💛

To our Rhode Island community, We hope to lease the historic Carl G. Lauro building in Providence to co-locate with Achievement First. This expansion aims to provide more students with access to quality public education in a nurturing environment. Listen to stories from our community, including parents like Leidy, about the positive impact charter school education has had on their children and why they are eager for their kids to join the new space: https://lnkd.in/eFg2SXXq We need your support to make this vision a reality!

"PREPARED for what life can throw at them!" - That's how mother Viviana describes the impact Excel Academy Rhode Island has had on her two daughters.

Help us spread the word by June 4th It's wonderful to hear from Cynthia Louis-Dale at Achievement First. We hope to bring great new options to Providence families, but we need support from the Providence City Council to be allowed to breathe new life into the vacant Carl G. Lauro school building at 99 Kenyon St. We would invest at least $14 million together to upgrade this public space for the community. Help spread the word before June 4th when the Council will begin to decide this issue. You can also read the letter from Excel parent and staff member, Reyna R., at https://lnkd.in/gtEXkRcf.
