Welcome to Honors Programs

By the time children in low-income communities are in the fourth grade, they are already two to three grade levels behind in math and reading. In the last 15 years, over three hundred Bruins have joined Teach For America and become lifelong leaders in the effort to eliminate the educational inequity. Will you be the next?

Teach For America is the national corps of outstanding recent college graduates of all academic majors who commit two years to teach in urban and rural public schools.
