Description edit
Transforming children into scholars and leaders.
"BELL exists to dramatically increase the academic achievements, self-esteem and life opportunities of children living in low-income, urban communities."
We pursue our mission because we believe in the tremendous potential within all children, whom we call scholars. BELL´s after school and summer programs feature: • Tutoring in literacy and math with research-based andmulticultural curricula. • Mentoring from positive adult role models to build self-esteem and respect for others. • Staff of committed certified teachers and trained college-age tutors. • Small-group instruction. • Experiential learning through guest speakers, field trips and service projects. • Support for parents to engage as advocates and facilitators of their children´s education. • Rigorous evaluation for demonstrating results and continually improving program.
In BELL programs, scholars excel. In each of the last five years, every child entering BELL at the failing level in reading and math advanced to a higher academic level. More than 80% of BELL scholars achieved proficient or advanced levels in core skills, compared to 30% of their peers.
BELL currently educates nearly 12,000 scholars in 75 public and charter school sites throughout Boston, New York City, Baltimore, Detroit, and Springfield, MA. Our corps of educators includes more than 1,000 teachers and tutors.
BELL pursues the goal of having 100% of our scholars achieve academic and social proficiency in their formative elementary school years. BELL scholars will graduate from high school; pursue higher education; and attain meaningful career paths. They will give back to their community. They will be great fathers and mothers, friends and mentors, leaders and citizens.
