Education is a pivotal part of our program.
The ACT/SAT Prep For Success course is a comprehensive educational program designed to help students achieve higher standardized test scores, positioning them for greater college admissions opportunities and increased financial aid. The weekly one-hour classes in reading, English, math, and science develop foundational skills in critical thinking, reading comprehension, math computation, and analytical reasoning.
All seniors who completed this course increased their SAT scores 200 to 300 points. The average SAT score of the full time RBTV students is 300 points higher than the National Average.
Participants also show significant improvements on the ACT by increasing their scores between 8 and 10 points

Our emphasis on academics is not only to ensure personal growth and success, but also to increase each student’s eligibility for scholarship opportunities. Each year, institutions such as Bentley University, Stonehill College, Northern Michigan University and others award full scholarships to selected students who have completed the journey. We select our scholars based on their character and their grades. West Point and the United States Naval Academy also recruit our students. These relationships are a part of the fabric of the village that creates life-changing opportunities for our youth.
