Our talented scholars at AF East NY Elementary School have been working hard to bring The Lion King musical to life at school this June. As a special surprise, they went to see it on Broadway! Joy, inspiration, and wonder came to life.

Seeing The Lion King live was more than just a trip, it was a moment of pure magic, fueling their excitement to take the stage themselves. We can`t wait to see them shine this June!

Our AF educators are changing how students engage with mathematics by focusing on deep conceptual understanding and student-led problem solving. With this approach, students learn how to think critically, collaborate, and tackle real-world challenges.

Led by Alicia Lynch, Senior Director of K-8 Math on AF’s Teaching & Learning team, our Context for Learning math program encourages students to connect math to everyday life. The result? Students feel more confident solving complex problems and they’re having fun doing it!

Happy National School Social Work Week & Social Work Month! At Achievement First, we celebrate our social workers every day and are proud to recognize their incredible impact on our schools and communities. This year’s theme, "Compassion + Action," perfectly reflects the work of an AF Aspire Elementary social worker and proud parent of an AF scholar, Liza, who brings this theme to life every day. Join us in celebrating and thanking all social workers for the difference they make in the lives of our families and scholars. Read more about Liza`s story at the link in our bio!
