“…I have had two children come through this program and my oldest has gone on to middle school and used the skills he got from this program and has become an ‘A’ student… the program offers a lot to the school and community…”
-AMI After school program parent

“…the relationship AMI has developed with each and every child in the program are a testament to their dedication to the students and their wish for them to succeed… my son and many others like him have learned how to be a young man, be an upstanding citizen and learn how to participate in their own destiny”
-2016-2017 Program parent

“…both of my children attended the AMI program. My son is in the also in an IEP program at his school. At the beginning of the school year he was having trouble writing and reading. Now thanks to the extra help at the AMI program he can write full sentences and read level one books. For picture day my son wanted to wear a suit because Mr. Hall wears a suit…”

“As an educator… in my last 15 years of teaching I have never come upon a program that is so through and consistent with teaching skills that will allow students to become tolerant and empathetic, and understanding of each other… At the end of the school year with tears in her eyes my daughter came to me and told me that she missed the program and the adults that cared so much about her there. Needless to say, we returned.”
-Teacher/Parent of program student

“There was a very positive atmosphere in this classroom. The staff did a good job of engaging all and making learning fun. Other grade levels were engaged in homework help in other rooms. Mr. Hall is very animated. His enthusiasm is contagious… Both students and staff know how much he cares about the content of the program. Character is essential. The caring and sharing during this activity was very obvious.”

“Every significant indicator of student success improved for the young men who were involved in the pilot program. The staff of AMI are able to reach each student at his level and find out what is right about them. AMI has been a true force for good at Academy Park High School. I hope that I can have this program here for many years to come.”
– Alan N. Johnson, Principal of Academy Park High School, Sharon Hill, PA

“The tone during this activity was very positive. The staff seemed to know the students well and genuinely care about their learning and succeeding. This type of atmosphere is one of the things that make this program so valuable…. AMI academic activities indicated a good relationship and coordination between the AMI program and the school, an essential component to be most effective.”
