APIE was originally created in 1983 as Adopt-A-School by the Austin Independent School District and the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce before becoming Austin Partners in Education, an independent 501(c)(3) in 2004. We work in partnership with Austin ISD to reinvent the urban-school experience and build a talent pipeline of local students to grow the regional economy. Since our founding, we have trained and placed nearly 17,000 tutors and mentors, who have supported over 37,000 Austin ISD students.
我们的学术支持和指导计划增加了接受高等教育的机会。我们利用最佳实践学习模型,并以其行之有效的结果获得了美国商会的认可,并被美国教育部誉为“更好地利用社区资源的典范”。我们还获得了白宫拉美裔杰出教育倡议的荣誉。
