The
interstages Story
Our Mission
Interstages provides opportunities
for early adolescents in low-opportunity neighborhoods to discover
talents, develop and strengthen skills, and heighten self-awareness,
setting the stage for a successful transition into young adulthood.
Exclusive
focus on early adolescence
Interstages specifically
supports students in grades 5-8 as they navigate this challenging
stage and make decisions that can affect the rest of their lives.
Academic
personalization
Interstages not only helps
each student create and implement detailed academic plans but
also monitors and supports student progress toward personalized
goals.
Connecting
to history through arts
At Interstages, students
study the arts in historical and cultural context, so they begin
to connect to history and view arts as both social indicators
and tools for social change.
