Miles Excellence Academy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underserved youth through college and career readiness, creative expression, and holistic development. We believe every student deserves the opportunity to discover their potential, explore their passions, and confidently pursue their goals.
Through mentorship, academic guidance, arts enrichment, and counseling, we equip students with the tools they need to thrive in school, in their communities, and beyond graduation. At Miles Excellence Academy, we are not just preparing students for the future — we are nurturing the trailblazers of tomorrow.
A future where every child meets the full capacity of their inner trailblazer with confidence, preparation, creativity, and determination.
Our founders believe that current state standards don't completely address the full capacity of what students need to be successful upon graduating high school. MEA wishes to bridge that gap for students who would otherwise not have the opportunities that we provide.
