At Envision, we know that, given the right support and learning model, our students can overcome incredible odds and achieve things even they did not think possible. “As a freshman, my son would say ‘if I get to go to college.’ By the end of his sophomore year, he started to say, ‘when I go to college.’” – Tiffany, parent

99% of Envision’s 2016 graduates went on to college. And once they get there, 90% of Envision graduates stay in college beyond their first year; this is called persistence, and it’s the most significant indicator in predicting successful college graduation.
