Supplemental Education
Access Millennium recognizes that because of existing social boundaries and economic disparities, many students find it difficult to pursue educational advancement solely in the traditional ways. Access Millennium is dedicated to improving education and other opportunities for minority and economically disadvantaged children, youth and adults.
We are currently working with education providers to actively develop and deliver specialized supplemental education programs through the use of advanced online digital audio and video technology. We will aggressively promote and facilitate the use of high-speed Internet technology in local elementary and secondary schools for curriculum enhancement and for any required teacher training.
Since the basis of educational advancement begins with, and is directly related to reading skills, Access Millennium recommends Fast ForWord® software, developed by the Scientific Learning Corporation.
