Meet Kasi, a shining star from Achievement First Iluminar Middle School in Providence, Rhode Island!

From her first drawings at age 2 to earning awards, Kasi’s passion for art has always been undeniable. But it’s her love for dance that has truly taken center stage. At just 3 years old, Kasi began dancing, and now, her dedication and talent have earned her the prestigious PPAC Arts Scholarship!

Kasi’s journey is a testament to her hard work, the support of her family, and the opportunities provided by her school and community programs. We couldn’t be more proud of her and can’t wait to see where her talent takes her next!

Check out Kasi’s full story at the link in our bio!

For many of us, today marks the start of a new school year! As we commemorate an incredible milestone here at AF — 25 years of dedication, growth, and lasting impact — we’re excited to share our 25th anniversary kick-off video. This moment is more than a celebration; it’s a tribute to the journey we’ve all been a part of, together with countless others who have made a difference along the way.

This video is crafted to honor the people, achievements, and challenges that have shaped Achievement First over the years. We hope it’s also a spark of inspiration for the exciting future ahead as we embark on our next quarter-century of educating children.

Thank you to all of you for being an essential part of the Achievement First story. We can’t wait to continue AF’s legacy of impact for the next 25 years and beyond!
