The mission of the Tenley Achievement Program (TAP) is to foster the personal and academic development of disadvantaged minority boys. Our goal is for all TAP graduates to be true leaders who are academically proficient, self-disciplined, diligent, and morally principled. We strive to achieve this goal through a combination of classroom instruction, individual tutoring, competitive athletic competition, and personal mentoring. Working in unison with their parents, TAP is firmly committed to help our students grow in virtue. All TAP programs thus place a strong emphasis on character building: the cultivation of moral virtues as the foundation for achieving any noble human endeavor. Character training takes place in all aspects of our programs, be they academic or athletic. At TAP we recognize the fundamental role education plays in a successful life. With this in mind, our professional and demanding academic programs impart solid study habits and bolster student proficiency in key subjects (Math, English, and Science). By means of this effective academic support, we hope to maximize our students’ options when they apply to high schools and colleges. All TAP programs are offered to qualified young men regardless
of race, color, or creed. TAP has Christian roots, with a particular
affiliation to Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church that
has initiated social service programs around the world. |
