The Schools

The See Forever Foundation/Maya Angelou Schools (See Forever/Maya Angelou) is a national alternative educational program model specifically designed to support lower income students with a particular focus on court-involved youth, students who have failed in traditional school settings, and students with special needs. We refer to our holistic approach to education and youth development as the, “Maya Way.”  Our program offers small classes, individualized instruction, and a wide range of wraparound services that give at-risk students the opportunity to move on to postsecondary programs or employment.

This year, See Forever/Maya Angelou will serve approximately 530 students across its two high school campuses and middle school campus, but will serve upwards of 600 students when including the scholars at the Maya Angelou Academy at New Beginnings Youth Development Center (formerly Oak Hill Youth Detention Center) and its affiliated Transition Center.

Many students enter the Maya Angelou Schools performing several grade levels behind, and struggling with the effects of poverty and violence in the community. Within the supportive learning environments offered across our campuses – at our public charter school campuses and schools for adjudicated and disconnected students – our scholars transform their lives and transition to college, career, and a lifetime of success at a rate that exceeds the national average!
