Inner city prep for college, which goes nearly year round!  Lots of excellent pursuits, but I was particularly impressed by the commitment to learning (vs. teaching to the tests).  Not surprising that the same friend who I quote in The Purpose of Education passed this along.

PS.  How about casting vision by hanging university banners in the hallways.  Must be fun during March Madness!
