Birth to Adulthood |
A continuum of impact
Through a continuum of impact that spans from birth to adulthood, ATLAS aims to deploy confident and competence Christ-centered leaders into the community in order to propel transformation from within.
Our Strategy
From Readers to Leaders
The ATLAS Continuum is built to develop and deploy Christ-centered young adults who are equipped to lead towards community-wide transformation.
1. Early Learners with a target of producing 3rd grade Readers
2. Christian Learning Center with a target of producing Life Ready Leaders
From READERS…
ATLAS has identified 3rd grade reading as the primary midway check point. Research shows 3rd grade literacy drastically enhances a child’s ability to develop in their educational journey beyond 3rd grade. If children are not proficient by 3rd grade, their ability to reach their ultimate potential is exponentially more challenging. In contrast, those who are able to reach that milestone by the end of their 3rd grade year are able to progress in their educational journey as lifelong learners, opening the doors to their maximized potential - and we believe, their God-given purpose.
To LEADERS!
Beyond 3rd grade, children enter the Christian Learning Center with the fundamental skill of reading proficiently, which opens the doors to their academic success as they grow. Likewise, children also enter with a foundational knowledge of God and biblical truth associated with a growing faith in Christ. The Christian Learning Center offers a variety of programs which all work together to instill the character and skills needed as they mature into young adults and leaders. Through training, experiential learning, and personal accountability, each avenue of impact has strategic value; and when children are able to participate in multiple ATLAS opportunities, the impact increases exponentially.
