• Back East Scholars Trip – The Best of BEST! Featured

  The Back East Scholars Trip (BEST) was initiated in 2013 by Board Chair Grant Cambridge. He noticed many of our graduating seniors chose not to attend college. A small percentage enrolled in local state institutions. Students didn’t feel they had access to schools beyond Los Angeles, and certainly not schools on the other side of the country. Prestigious schools like Harvard, MIT, Brown, or Columbia weren't considered. Before the inception of BEST, 12% of Value Schools' graduates were accepted to four-year universities. A decade later, that number has risen to 83%, including 26 scholars who have enrolled in prestigious colleges on the East Coast.
