At AF, learning is just as important for our educators as it is for our students! Our Providence High School teachers and leaders had an inspiring day of professional development at RISD during the Day of Practice. Thank you to RISD for hosting us in their beautiful space and supporting our educators` growth!

Throughout October, our AF scholars have worn pink in honor of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. Our students stood together to raise awareness, promote early detection, and support those impacted by breast cancer.
In the United States, breast cancer continues to be the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in women, with the American Cancer Society estimating that in 2024 there have been more than 300,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer. Black women are particularly vulnerable and face a significantly higher rate of mortality, due to disparities in health care and genetic risk.
As a community, let’s continue to support the fight for a cure and innovative research, uplift communities that are particularly vulnerable to the disease, and honor the women who have been affected.

Leaves are on the ground, and there’s a crisp fall chill in the air! Our @af_providence_es scholars work hard so they can play hard, too! This week, they enjoyed an awesome field trip to Adam’s Farm, where they fed animals, picked pumpkins, and dove into all things fall! Swipe to catch all the highlights. 🍂🎃🚜

At AF, we believe learning extends far beyond the classroom walls—our cities become places for growth and exploration! Earlier this month, our AF Ujima scholars ventured to the Atlassian offices in Manhattan as part of their Code2College program. We love seeing our students engage with industry leaders and dive into real-world experiences as they develop their passions. Our scholars #StriveForExcellence in everything they do!
