Summer camp wrapped up today, but the learning doesn't stop. 📚 This year, our scholars will keep building on everything they learned — through our free afterschool program at Ranson Middle School and Westerly Hills Academy.

Learn. Create. Succeed. That's the goal all year long, and it's only possible with your support.

Help us kick off the new school year strong. Donate today at aboveandbeyondstudents.com/get-involved. 💚💜

Nothing beats a water park day with friends — swimming, floating around the lazy river, and non-stop laughing! Our staff jumped right in with our scholars, too.

🏊‍♂️☀️ Swipe through for a look at our field trip to Ray’s Splash Planet. This is what your support makes possible. 💙

Three students, one screen, a whole lot of “I get it now” moments. 📐

This is what summer growth looks like — Ranson IB Middle Schoolers tackling an algebra problem together, building confidence one equation at a time.

For too many kids, summer break means months of academic ground lost. Above and Beyond Students exists to change that story.

✨ $100 sponsors a week of camp for one student, but any amount helps

Your donation isn’t just funding a program — it’s funding the moment a kid decides they’re a “math person” after all.

Our Above & Beyond Students have traveled the globe, gone for gold, and picked up a few sweet new skills — all without leaving Charlotte. 🌍🥇🍦

In just the first two weeks of our free six-week Summer Enrichment Program, students have explored China, Ghana, and the USA, competed in the ABS Summer Olympics (tug-of-war and all), learned to use chopsticks, made homemade ice cream from scratch, and hit the rink at Kate's Skating Rink — all while keeping up their reading and math skills.

There's still plenty of summer left, and you can be part of what happens next.

This summer, Above & Beyond Students is helping young people stay engaged, strengthen academic skills, explore new ideas, and head into the next school year with more confidence.

For many families, our Summer Enrichment Program is a vital piece of the puzzle: a safe place to learn, receive support, build relationships, and keep growing while school is out.

You can help make that possible. Sponsor a student for a week, three weeks, or the full summer — or give any amount to support learning, meals, transportation, enrichment, and encouragement.

This is what summer looks like at Above and Beyond Students. 💜

While most kids are out of the classroom, our students are showing up every day to learn, grow, and build the skills they'll carry into the new school year. This summer, that means reading, math, STEAM activities, field trips, and so much more — all in a safe, supportive environment, at zero cost to their families.

Behind every student like this one is a donor who made it possible. Any donation helps, and if you're able to give a little more:

$100 sponsors one child for a full week.
$300 covers three weeks.
$600 gives a student the entire six-week experience.

Every gift is 100% tax-deductible. Sponsor a student today using the link below. ⬇️
