Goals & Objectives

The primary goal is to establish the RII as a comprehensive program with a record of improving the academic achievement of students from low-income backgrounds while maintaining cost effective operations.

Furthermore, the RII will leverage the experience of its highly skilled management team to develop a set of components that will enable it to achieve systemic improvements in academic achievement.

 

 

The effects of the RII will go beyond individual student achievement, going deep into the community. The goal is to help build communities with common objectives for change, growth, and development. To accomplish this goal, in each community, in each neighborhood, and in each school, the RII will work to bring together students, teachers, business leaders, and parents to come together with a common goal for their community.

 

The RII will establish itself as a leader in creative, effective applications of learning solutions to meet the challenges faced by American high school students. To accomplish this goal, the RII will team up students who share similar abilities, interests, commitments, and talents but that come from different socio-economic backgrounds. The result, a stimulating environment designed to encourage students to learn responsibility, self-motivation, community participation, and respect for others.
