    UNIVERSITY STARTS NOW MISSION
     
    The Mission of University Starts Now is to create a culture of higher academic  learning among all K-5 scholars, their families, and surrounding communities by instilling in them an awareness and motivation towards obtaining a four-year university degree. Recognizing that the school community inspires the highest level of academic commitment from its scholar population, its role is to provide them with the necessary information, resources, and materials so that all K-5 scholars demand higher levels of academic learning from themselves.
