Developing Students for the Future Now

Our Mission

Hello Everyone:

Education is the most important treasure that we can have.  It pays dividends for all of sacrifices made to achieve it.  The Saturday Scholar is hosting an Open House on June 9, 2022. 

 Come and learn what The Saturday Scholar is doing to help 8th-12th grade students prepare to go to college.  Let us help and collaborate with you to put your educational plans in place for the New School Year.  It is not too early to set your goals for success. 

Working together as Educators, Parents, and Students will make the difference.  Each student needs a team in place for support.  The lift to success, then, becomes easier and attainable.  Be part of our team! 

See you on June 9 at 6:00 PM.  Your investment of this hour will be time well spent!

Reaching their true potential

Detroit area families are at a greater socioeconomic disadvantage than most. Since the onset of COVID-19, Detroit has been one of the hardest hit cities in Michigan. School closures left almost all Detroit students unable to finish schooling due to lack of funds for electronics and internet access. Now more than ever, students in the Detroit area need programs like The Saturday Scholar to help them get back on track. Our program is designed to build student success and exceed state requirements. Please consider donating to our educational nonprofit to ensure we can keep helping students in need.
