While over 3,500 students of color entered school with the guidance of Early Steps, it is humbling to know that the impact has been so much greater. We hear time and © 2012 Victoria Jackson Photography again how families, schools and lives have been trans- formed as a result of the doors of opportunity that were opened with the help of Early Steps. Doors where academic excellence is the norm and children learn and play with others whose life’s experiences are not the same as theirs, benefitting all children. We are proud of our 30-year partnership with now over 50 New York City independent schools who nurture, educate and challenge our children to be the best that they can be. They couldn’t be in better hands! Tonight we honor four Early Steps alumni. These accomplished young adults all benefited from the wisdom of their parents who knew the importance of providing their children with the best possible education beginning in Kindergarten.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT oliverscholars.org 1 WELCOME Dear Friends of Oliver Scholars, 2019 was a year of significant changes and transformation for Oliver Scholars. We welcomed a new CEO, along with new members of our senior leadership team; we embarked on a strategic planning process to ensure the long-term sustainability of our institution; we expanded our outreach to include the CEO Salon Series; we launched new partnerships to help our college scholars and recent college graduates access expanded career opportunities; our work together was featured on CBS This Morning and CNN Heroes; and we began the process of reimagining and deepening our work with scholars, partner schools, parents, and alumni. Luckily, we did not have to start from scratch. The truth is that Oliver Scholars has a long track record of engaging with scholars and other stakeholders in ways that reflect the kind of care, intention, and thought you’d expect from any world-class youth-serving organization. Our current scholars and accomplished and engaged alumni often bear witness to the transformative impact this organization has had on their lives. Time and time again, as we spoke with members of this amazing community, there was one unifying word that showed up in every conversation: FAMILY. As an organization that is not only committed to opening new Dr. Danielle R. Moss educational pathways for our young people, but one that also has a Chief Executive Officer long-standing commitment to nurturing future generations of Black and Latinx leaders, Oliver Scholars often talk about the sense of family and deep connection that have become hallmarks of this organization over the last 35 years.

  • Calhounschool
    THE CalhounSCHOOL “Calhoun taught me to think, read, and communicate critically and carefully; these are the skills required for success in college and beyond. But, I think Calhoun ’s main lesson was to regard learning as an essential part of my own intellectual and moral development, and I would not want any other foundation for my lif e’ s journey. ” JUSTIN L. BROOKE ’06 STANFORD UNIVERSITY ’10 HARVARD LAW SCHOOL ’16 ome to thinkers, doers, and leaders for over 120 years, The Calhoun School is defined by a Hproject-oriented curriculum, a problem-solving approach to learning, the “inquiry method” of teaching, as well as a commitment to equity and social justice. A low student-faculty ratio (7:1) allows for a seminar-style approach to learning; this open, informal approach encourages intensive discussion and collaborative intellectual experiences. Our student body and faculty reflect the talent, energy, and diversity of the city we call home, which often serves as a canvas for instruction. In our work with students, we proudly reaffirm our original philosophy of education, one that has made Calhoun as distinctive in New York City educational practice as its architecture is distinctive in the history of school design and function.
