Who We Are
The Jewel Continuum Foundation places all of our efforts on the academic advancement of children in grade school throughout high school. We believe that there are inequities that exist in the educational systems of our communities. We believe that the most effective way to eliminate those inequities is to close the gaps in secondary and collegiate higher education with programs and funding that directly help children
Concentrating academic resources on middle school and high school (age 8-18) provides the best opportunity to eliminate the disparities in the academic setting. There is empirical evidence that supports the importance of completing secondary and collegiate education as a road to advancement. Statistics prove the value of this extra impetus in making the difference in the success of school age children since completion of educational studies still continues to be the most important factor in the success of the children.
Rooted in Legacy. Built for the Future.
