Focusing on the Education Continuum

Advancing Academic Preparedness and Fostering a College-Going Culture

Helios Education Foundation is dedicated to creating opportunities for individuals in Arizona and Florida to succeed in postsecondary education. As a result, we strategically partner to ensure more students are academically prepared at every stage of the education continuum—from pre-kindergarten through postsecondary education—and ultimately, graduate college and career ready. Committed to the success of all students, we are also working to embed a college-going culture across both states which emphasizes and facilitates the successful completion of a postsecondary license, certificate or degree for every student, leading to meaningful career opportunities and a high quality of life.

Helios focuses its leadership, expertise and resources in three key impact areas:

	Early Childhood Education Strengthening early childhood systems to enable more Arizona and Florida children, birth through age eight, to enter kindergarten ready to succeed and be reading at grade level by the end of third grade. Learn More
	Transition Years Facilitating rigorous high expectation academic environments, which help students successfully transition between the various stages of education, graduate prepared for college and career and foster the pursuit of postsecondary education. Learn More
	Postsecondary Success Providing academic supports critical to student persistence and aligning systems to improve postsecondary degree or certificate attainment. Learn More
