About Us

CIRCLE is an acronym for Collective Initiates Restore Community Life and Education. The vision and mission of CIRCLE Learning Group is to provide quality and equitable educational programs to low-income communities and families who are furthest from educational justice in New Jersey. 
​
There is empirical data that shows significant achievement gaps between urban and other low-income communities as opposed to middle to upper-income communities. CIRCLE Learning Group found out that families of disadvantaged (ie: low-income communities, minority groups, English language learners, and learning disabilities) face larger opportunity gaps than others. CIRCLE Learning Group educational programs will use effective research-based practices and curriculums to facilitate education services to improve families’ achievement levels.

The goal of the organization would be to remedy these disadvantages and address a crucial need of communities by establishing lifelong relationships with families to help close achievement gaps and increase educational success rates. CIRCLE Learning Group will recruit specialized and trained educators and volunteers (industry professionals and community representatives) to facilitate educational programs and events focused on the areas of literacy, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math), mental and physical health, and life skills.
