Prepare students to perform at grade level in reading and math, and help them develop the skills necessary to be independent learners and high-achieving students.
The ARK Educational Resource Center, located in the poorest town in the state of Delaware, serves students from K-12 by providing free, one-on-one tutoring services in math and reading. We also provide teen groups for boys and girls; as well as a parent group. We believe in strengthening the entire family, while preparing our youth to graduate high school prepared for the challenges of life.
