Through funding from the East Lake Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Governor’s Office for Student Achievement, CEISMC is partnering with Drew Charter School on several initiatives that engage students and teachers from kindergarten through 12th grade. In the Elementary and Junior Academies, CEISMC assists in the implementation of literacy and language development activities through the Georgia Tech Arts and STEAM program with the Ferst Center, a summer STEAM Academy, and professional development for literacy and enrichment teachers. In the senior academy, CEISMC supports students in the completion of Drew’s cradle to college model by providing tutors and mentors as well as facilitating a summer bridge program for about 100 students as they transition from 8th grade to high school.
