Many students, even in the Bay Area, are struggling with school because they are not being given a proper education. The most important element to success is that a student is confident in his or her abilities so that they can form aspirations for the future, and it’s vital that students are in an environment where they can have that confidence in their academics. Programs such as the Tinsley Program are good because they give students the opportunity to be educated in high-achieving learning environment, even if that is not the background that they come from.
