Mission
Areté Education is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization that trains and empowers youth to lead successful lives, by getting students into good colleges, good jobs, and healthy mindsets by closing the experience gap.
Vision
Areté serves communities in the South Bronx, Brooklyn, and Washington Heights through programming and partnerships with public NYCDOE schools, colleges, universities, and industry partners in education, finance, STEM, the arts, and health fields. Areté designs afterschool and summer programming that exposes youth to diverse career pathways; builds academic, wellness, and leadership skills; and expands access to the arts and culture. Arete is able to provide comprehensive services to 1500 students and families across New York City each year.
Our Programs
Areté Education is dedicated to providing high-quality programming and enrichment in education, financial literacy, STEM, the arts, and health to empower youth. Our comprehensive wraparound programs include afterschool, summer school, weekend sports, and career-connected learning. We deliver 5,000 extra hours of academic and extracurricular experiences annually, focusing on careers, literacy, wellness, and the arts.
The Areté Way
Arete Education challenges the status quo by providing academic, social, and emotional support to students while working hand in hand with the school the students attend. We extend the traditional school day, week, and year with enhanced learning experiences that are fully integrated into school communities. We motivate students with aspirational and experiential learning in a nurturing but rigorous environment where they develop the skills to succeed in school and beyond.
