As we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today for all the great things he did and stood for while on this earth, let us not forget that in 1944, at age 15 and a junior in high school, he passed the entrance test and enrolled in Morehouse College. He earned a full bachelor’s degree from Morehouse by the time he was 19.
We remember Dr. King every day all our schools. Many of our students enter college as early as their 9th grade year. Many graduate with full associate degrees, too. Many more will follow. It is my hope that what Dr. King accomplished by the age of 19 will become more common in our schools and schools across the country in the near future. This will be a great way to honor Dr. King and to carry on his legacy.

GEO Academies – Where All Roads Lead to College
www.geofoundation.org
GEO Academies is a non-profit organization with the mission of breaking the cycle of poverty by providing students and families with access to quality education options in impoverished neighborhoods. One way GEO Academies does this is by starting, supporting, and managing high-quality charter school...geoacademies.org/donate/ Over time we have learned that the biggest barrier to college success is that our students have no frame of reference since only 10% come from homes with any college experience. It is not enough to provide a college curriculum in a high school setting. That’s why the key feature of our College Immersion model is that students take college courses on a college campus.

when you support GEO, you are getting a hybrid between think tank public policy advocacy and real school choice results. Yes, we get the media coverage, speaking engagements and lunches and conferences, but we also graduate students with real college degrees and do what I think we are all in this to do—create productive and successful citizens that help carry our great United States forward.

geoacademies.org/donate/ We provide our students, most of whom are first generation college-bound, real college experience by placing them on real college campuses. They get to see themselves in real college classes and experience college professors. They learn a great deal about themselves while they are with us. They gain confidence in themselves. And they see themselves as real college capable students.
We believe our program will, and is, catching on across the country. It’s why we have grown from Gary, Indiana to Indianapolis and Baton Rouge. Donate Today to support #GEOCollegeScholarshipFund you'll be glad you did!
Our school is very different. We are a launching pad, not a destination. We place students on real college campuses to take real college courses with real college professors while they are in our high school. 25% of our students are taking college courses right now. Help send even more students to college while in high school and support #GEOCollegeScholarshipFund at geoacademiesgbr.org/donate/
