Mission
Step Up to Learn offers a program that initially provides quality mathematics education programs for middle and high school students and study coaching services. This will enable working families to leave their children at the Step up to Learn, receive a quality education, and be prepared for their future educational careers. Step Up to Learn initially provides seven mathematics courses (Arithmetic's foundation, Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus) for middle school and high school students. These low-cost online tutoring classes ($100-$200 per month), include 10-20 hours of online sessions per month per child. The courses will be held online, separated by subject groups. This will also create an environment of consistent learning opportunities for all students. All tutoring sessions are offered online via video conferencing. Initially, 25% of the director's time will be allocated to this activity to serve California and other states' communities.
