The SunTrust Foundation today announced a three-year grant of $2 million to 3DE National to continue the nonprofit’s expansion in metro Atlanta and launch 3DE schools outside of Georgia for the first time, bringing the innovative high school model to Florida, Texas and the District of Columbia.
3DE, the innovative school model provider, prepares for national expansion of concept proven to accelerate student engagement and academic outcomes in traditional urban high schools.
The donation, distributed in five $400,000 annual installments starting in 2019, makes Delta a National Signature Partner of 3DE.
“The teachers make the difference! We’re not just going through the motions of learning. They really care about us and our success.”
“The only expectations we have not achieved yet, are our own. We are all aspiring for a future that is beyond what we once imagined.”
“We’ve seen the world of opportunities that are available. We have been in these environments and we know what is expected of us. These experiences are ingrained in who we are.”
“It is like 3DE and Banneker provided the roots to grow, and with that foundation we all flourished and became the rose that grew from the concrete."
