From the Heart - From the Heart is an educational service company whose core goal is to ensure that all children achieve through equitable education. FTH is dedicated to closing the gaps in student academic achievement by providing comprehensive educational services that will transform schools into highly effective learning communities. Over the past 4 years, FTH has provided GEAR UP students with summer enrichment programs that focus on a student’s academic and social development programming to build a student’s self-confidence and outlook in order to ultimately increase their academic achievement. In 2018, FTH joined with the ELA curriculum department to provide a 9th and 10th-grade ELA coach.
