    ® AFTER TWO YEARS OF PLANNING, The Steppingstone Foundation launched its newest initiative— the College Success Academy— in July, based in two Boston public K-8 schools, the Edison and the Jackson/Mann. While most of their classmates had put away their textbooks for the summer, the pilot class of 46 Scholars at the College Success Academy were rolling up their sleeves for six weeks of classes in math, English/ Language Arts, science, and VWXG\VNLOOVWRQDPHDIHZɻ Photo credit: Meg Birnbaum Photography (continued from front) The College Success Academy (CSA) shares many similarities with The Steppingstone Academy (TSA) beginning with the goal of setting Boston students on the path to college graduation. Both programs welcome students who are eager to work hard to achieve their college goals; there is an academic program that takes place after school and over multiple summers; and there are comprehensive academic, college guidance, and social/emotional support services through high school and college. What’s different? CSA is based in two Boston K-8 public schools, and in its first three years will only recruit Scholars from those schools. There will be no placement into independent or public exam schools; instead, the academic program will span five summers rather than two, with extra academic support Reggie Farina ’94 in ninth grade.
