Open Quote My daughter was not reading, before Achievement First East N.Y, and a bit too playful.At first grade she read chapter books, and is more focused and determined to get into college, to be a doctor and a lawyer(her own words).She and her peers frequently visit colleges as motivation.I guess It is a challenging job for the teachers and other staff, one can only imagine, especially with the high expectations and long hours. but they are always happy and cheerful at the end of the day. I applaud them, Special shout out to Georgetown U,09-10,Moorehouse U,10-11,and John Hopkins U .Five Stars Close Quote
