Circle Urban Teen Programs

In the United States today, the vast majority of schools are finding it difficult for their students to achieve high marks on standardized testing. This is due, largely in part, to the fact that more and more students are falling behind in reading comprehension.

“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am” John 13: 13-17
