About Us

We are dedicated to helping our students reach their full potential.

Higher Academia is a non-profit organization founded in 2012 with the sole mission of empowering youth and their families through education, mentoring, and tutoring; our programs are developed to motivate and support the achievement of academic excellence and social responsibility through building of self-esteem and educational competence. Homework assistance, tutoring (individual subjects), and mentorships are the primary avenues we use to ensure academic success of our students who are challenged due to the economic and health crisis.

Our goals are to change the trajectory of a child’s life by bringing children into the program at a young age and retaining them through college, providing comprehensive resources to meet their educational and developmental needs at each stage of their journey. Programming areas include literacy skills, tutoring, mentoring, recreation, arts & cultural activities, leadership development, ACT/SAT prep, college and scholarship application support, scholarships, job readiness training, and personal support throughout their college education.
