Granville Academy is a non-profit after-school coaching and counseling program designed to give inner city youth an introductory knowledge of business and industry, including an understanding of the language, foundation and environment of the free enterprise system.
The mission of Granville Academy is to provide primarily inner-city youth in grades 5 through 12 with fundamental skills in business, finance, science and engineering. Classes are held in bi-weekly sessions from October through May of each year. By gaining these skills, students will be better equipped to overcome barriers and assimilate into the economic mainstream. It is intended that our students share their knowledge with others and ultimately help build strong and economically viable inner-city communities based on free enterprise.

At the levels of the program, Granville Academy focuses on seven pillars:

 

1. Young women's enrichment- Pilot Program (5th - 7th grade)

5. Phase III- The Debating Society and Public Speaking (sophmore)
6. Phase IV- College Preparation(junior)
