FOCUSING ON THE EDUCATION CONTINUUM

Pre-K through Postsecondary Education

Helios Education Foundation is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals in Arizona and Florida by creating opportunities for success in three key impact areas: Early Childhood Education; the Transition Years (Grades 5 -12); and Postsecondary Scholarships.

Viewing the Pre-K through 12 education system as an interconnected continuum of learning and skill-building, the Foundation understands each stage contributes to the postsecondary success of young adults. By providing support to students across the continuum, Helios Education Foundation wants to help keep Arizona and Florida youth in school, graduating and continuing on to postsecondary education.

The Foundation also knows some of the greatest breakthroughs in education will come through risk-taking and innovative solutions. Helios Education Foundation strives to celebrate the successes and best practices which exist in education today, while exploring new ways to make the system better, more relevant, and responsive to the rapidly changing needs of individuals and employers.
