Our Mission
Match More connects our students and families to high-quality summer learning programs
Match began as a single high school, and by 2011 we had expanded to include a middle school and an elementary school. Each expansion reflected our growing understanding of the achievement gap.
As we were growing our school, we were aware that quality summer experiences were also crucial to the development of our students, but we didn’t have a solution to that piece of the puzzle. How could we ensure that all of our students would have opportunities to retain and build upon their academic and social skills during the summer?
The answer was Match More.
Match More is founded on the belief that we can find and build partnerships with quality summer programs and support our students and families.
Summer Slide.
Estimates suggest that “summer slide” accounts for nearly half of today’s achievement gap between low- and higher-income students. Students from low-income families who are most at risk experience the greater gains on high quality summer/afterschool programs.
