The schools offer a challenging curriculum with an emphasis on experiential learning and character development. Sponsoring a student through UrbanPromise’s Partner Program provides a Camden child or teen with a year of quality education within a safe, structured, and stimulating environment rich in love and compassion. A Partner’s investment provides much more than just a student’s tuition: partners encourage and motivate our young people to stay focused on their studies, persevere and overcome challenges, and value their education. Partners can choose to support a student with an annual or monthly gift totaling $3,000, $6,000, $8,000 or more. The educational cost for a student at our UrbanPromise schools is $8,000 annually. Our families pay a predetermined tuition amount based on income need. Each student is offered a scholarship to pay the remaining balance through the UrbanPromise Kindergarten to College Scholarship. Your Partner gift helps to fund your student partner’s education through the K to College Scholarship. UrbanPromise encourages Partners to learn more about their students by attending twice annual Partner Day events at the school, sending birthday and holiday cards, and passing along notes of encouragement to your student. You will also receive at least three correspondences and updates from your student (including a student profile), messages from teachers and administrators, and the opportunity to visit campus during the regular school day.
