Our Story

Growing up as a latchkey child, Denny often completed her homework after school by herself. Both of  her parents worked full-time to support the family, so she was left to struggle through some of the more  challenging assignments alone. When faced with a tough algebra equation or struggling to understand  the deeper meaning of a poetry assignment, Denny often wished she had someone to talk to for help  and support.

When Denny was older, she chose to become a teacher because she found great joy working with middle school students. Her first day as a teacher went well, but she didn’t quite feel like she had found  her true passion. During class, it broke her heart to see many of her students struggling academically  because of poor after-school study habits. The desire to help these struggling students grew more each  day, but the decision to leave a steady teaching position to start her own academic mastermind program  wasn’t easy.

Denny spent three years as a teacher before she decided she couldn’t ignore her dream any longer. She left her public-school teaching position in 1999 to start building an innovative academic mastermind program. It was then that School-Connection was born.

School-Connection isn’t just an after-school program; it’s a home away from home where students  receive the academic and emotional support they need to succeed. Thanks to Denny’s Academic  MasterMind Program, kids no longer have to struggle alone to complete their homework. At School-Connection, children are given the tools and tutelage they need to succeed at school and in life
