Second Mile Education partnered with Gilbert and Lee to build a space for students and staff to learn and reflect on their future.

Since our inception in 1996, we were founded on a simple principle: Every student, regardless of their background, has the right to pursue their potential and deserves access to attainable education. When life’s circumstances leave students falling behind or at-risk of dropping out of school, we refuse to accept that opportunity gap. We strive to help every student discover what’s possible and we believe every student can learn – some just need something different. To address the growing challenges for today’s students, we developed a self-paced and technology- enhanced learning model designed around each student’s unique needs. Individualized instruction is delivered in a safe, controlled environment supplemented with intensive wraparound services that support the whole student, and is delivered by certified, supportive staff that go above and beyond for our students. Students emerge from our programming resilient, optimistic, and prepared for success after high school. Today, we operate as a full-service school management company offering best-in-class dropout prevention and recovery programming. In partnership with our non-profit charter school boards and authorizers, we support underserved communities and deliver results – 20,000 graduates and counting. Our Purpose: Unlocking the next generation’s power to overcome.
