Advanced Academic Prep (AAP)

Academic, Cultural and Pre-Career programming for intellectually motivated youth.

AAP is a competitive, cohort-based, academic, leadership development and pre-career preparatory program culturally designed for highly motivated Middle School East African youth. AAP will selectively admit 30 scholars (inside of 3, 12-month cohorts of 10 scholars, in 6, 7 and 8th grades).  By focusing on six strategic growth areas (AAP Cores), AAP works to prepare East African youth for the hyper-competitive landscape of the 21st century – and beyond.
