“PAVE and City Squash both opened so many doors for me. I saw students who went before me to attend top schools, and I knew I could get there too. It was incredible for me to have adults outside my family who wanted to help me get to the next level academically and as a person.”

PAVE Class of 2020

“PAVE taught me how to be a leader. Even if the road gets tough, you have to keep trying. With the support PAVE gave me, I learned that if you approach challenges with excitement and the willingness to try, you can do great things.”

"PAVE has been part of my journey since first grade, guiding me through eighth grade and now into my role as an employee. This community has shaped me both academically and personally, helping me grow into the person I am today. Working here allows me to give back to the place that gave me so much and to support the next generation of students."

Now and Then

Jeff began his journey at PAVE Academy in Kindergarten in 2011, where he thrived both academically and in extracurriculars, traveling with the chess team in elementary school and playing varsity basketball in middle school. Graduating from PAVE in 2020, he continued his growth at Cristo Rey High School. Now a student at Albright College in Pennsylvania, Jeff is shaping his future, driven by the hard work, perseverance, and passion that PAVE instilled in him.

"Growing up at PAVE Academy, I now fully appreciate how it shaped me into the person I am today. The supportive teachers and welcoming community helped instill strong character and a dedicated work ethic—skills I continue to cherish. Now, as a college freshman, the lessons I learned at PAVE remain a guiding force, helping me navigate new challenges with confidence. I am deeply grateful for the memories and foundation PAVE has given me."
