AFTER-SCHOOL EXCELLENCE PROGRAM (ASEP)
Working in close partnership with the Boston Public Schools, Tenacity’s After-School Excellence Program (ASEP) delivers an intensive three-year experience for middle school students. ASEP integrates literacy-based programming and supervised tennis activities in a structured, supportive environment. Our activities focus not only on building tennis and literacy skills but promoting resilience among young people facing challenges on the path to adulthood. Our literacy curriculum is aligned with state and city English Language Arts Frameworks, and aims to prepare our students for future academic success.
WE GET RESULTS!
Since 1999, ASEP has helped hundreds of urban youth succeed against difficult odds in challenging environments and we have set short-, medium-, and long-term goals to measure our own progress.

95% of ASEP graduates have either successfully graduated from or are still enrolled in high school, compared to a district-wide 30% high school drop-out rate. The majority of our students move on to higher education.
