This might involve, for example, the ASUC, the DeCal program, or independent private schools. Call Prof. John Hurst for further information. The Street Academy succeeds with students with whom the traditional high schools have failed through its commitment to a multi-cultural curriculum within a personal, respectful environment. An internship at the Street Academy not only offers the opportunity to witness a truly inspirational urban public school, but a flexibility which allows for extensive personal input and development. All the learners are employees who have come forward asking for help to improve their basic skills, that is, their writing, speaking, reading and math skills.
Tutors thus enjoy the benefits of working with adults who are self-motivated.
The majority of learners speak English as a second language, thereby also offering a great opportunity to learn more about another country and culture. To see the campus from another point of view please contact Jane Griswald for more information.
