Turner 12

The Turner 12, Inc organization focuses on one specific program...The Turner 12 Program. Four subprograms are underneath this one including the Academic Enrichment Program, our Summer of Choice, Parent Meetings and Spring Break College Tours. The Academic Enrichment sessions provide additional academic support in areas of writing, reading and test taking strategies that keeps our students ahead of their peers. The Academic Enrichment impacts The 12. Our Parent Meetings are designed to inform and encourage our students, as well as their parents, on our monthly themes while also acknowledging our students' academic achievement, per each six week grading period. The Summer of Choice impact fluctuates between 15-20 individuals based on friends invited by The 12. Lastly, the Summer of Choice program is a holistic curriculum that speaks to our students? overall development as young men and women as well as future leaders within their communities. Parent Meetings are usually 25-30 in attendance. Our annual Spring Break College tours provide students with first-hand experiences and knowledge of area institutions of higher learning that proves advantageous, over the course of six-year experience, by assisting students with making the most educated decision about the college/university that will be suited for them post high school graduation. Students are able to interface with college students, professors and other personnel who provide invaluable information and insight to both the pros/cons of college life; thus enabling students to get a truer understanding of what to expect over the course of the four years of their college/university experience.
