It's Not Too
Late To
Graduate
A different path to graduation for scholars who are ready to catch up, get ahead, or take control of their future.
A SCHOOL BUILT FOR A FRESH START
We re-engage students who have previously disengaged from school with a rigorous, career-connected, and wellness-centered path to graduation and beyond.
- Our Mission
BELIEVE Middle College re-engages students ages 17–20 who have previously disengaged from school by offering a rigorous, career-connected, and wellness-centered pathway to high school completion and postsecondary success.
- Our Vision
In five years, BMC will be a thriving model of alternative education in St. Louis, graduating overage, under-credited youth who are academically prepared, mentally resilient, and economically empowered. In ten years, we will have scaled our model across the region, reshaping how education systems reengage disconnected youth and demonstrating improved academic, workforce, and wellness outcomes.
