Breakthrough is a rigorous program that prepares my daughter for the future and makes her a critical thinker. The teachers provide thoughtful instruction and give my daughter a lot to talk about at the dinner table each day.

I felt good about creating a safe environment in my class, where even the quiet students felt comfortable speaking and sharing personal stories. The students and other teachers inspired me to work for educational equity in the future.
