60 Denver Public Schools (DPS) and Englewood Public Schools (EPS)
For eight consecutive years 100% of Breakthrough seniors have graduated high school!
25th year of closing the achievement gap in Denver Public Schools and Englewood Public Schools
“Breakthrough is different because it’s not like typical school, classes are fun and it pushes us outside of our comfort zone by introducing us to things we’re not used to. For example, this summer every student was expected to get up in front of the community at some point either to present or perform something. Even though it can be scary, getting out of your comfort zone is something you have to do in order to grow. If I were to say one thing to anyone who hasn’t been to Breakthrough it would be, ‘you have to come.’” ”
- Nashi Mason, 8th grade, GALS Middle School
Breakthrough’s Impact in 2018-2019:
100% of Breakthrough high school seniors graduated in 2019
89% of Breakthrough graduates matriculated into an institution of higher education
Breakthrough Kent Denver is a six-year after school and summer program that supports middle and high school students
through challenges and transitions while simultaneously training aspiring educators.
All programs and services are provided at no cost to all of our students.

140 Year-round Volunteers Including Advisory Board
“Going into Saturday School as a volunteer, I was definitely nervous. Knowing that I’d be responsible
for an entire classroom, having to both teach the material and manage behavior was nerve-racking. But once I met the students and started to see their growth, even in the span of one class, I forgot about my nerves. Just like my students, I found myself growing in the classroom. This unique teaching experience enabled me to become a more confident person.”
-Faith Kummetz Senior, Kent Denver School

“I’d never taught a class before my first summer with Breakthrough, so the first two weeks of our training was crucial to my growth. I felt so much more confident going into the classroom with our kids, I don’t know what I would have done without our training weeks. As I returned in my second summer, I was able to focus on my lessons and also connect with my students in an intentional and
profound way. The best way I can describe this program is that everyone is here to grow. We’re working every day to improve who we are and Breakthrough provides us the space to do that.”
