U.S. Dream Academy

In Baltimore, the U.S. Dream Academy operates under the Maryland 21st Century grant from the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE). This grant allows us to expand our program from 60 to 100 students, add a mobile technology lab with 30 new Kindle Fire tablets, and also purchase a mobile cart to easily move equipment around the school. This mobile cart is particularly handy as our partner school, Pimlico Elementary and Middle School is undergoing a major renovation this school year, and we had to physically move our Learning Center to a temporarily location. Despite relocation challenges, the Dream Academy has re-established our presence, and gained a new cohort of students in addition to retaining students from last year. We are thankful to both the Family League of Baltimore City and MSDE for funding during these times of transition so we are better able to meet the transportation and afterschool support needs of our students and families.
