Grantee Spotlight

Russell Byers leadership program scholars.

The Russell Byers Charter School provides students with a rigorous academic education grounded in Expeditionary Learning. Our students take responsibility for their learning to become powerful communicators, creative problem solvers, and compassionate, engaged citizens. Russell Byers students develop wings to succeed in selective schools and embrace a love for learning.

This summer, 18 Middle School students (pictured) attended the innovative leadership program “Spark the Wave” at Villanova University.  Through this five-day intensive program, participants discovered their passions and gained skills they need to become changemakers.
