CELEBR ATING BRE AK THROUGH
MIAMI SCHOL ARS
FOR 14 YEARS, BREAKTHROUGH MIAMI HAS BEEN A VIBRANT PART OF THE PALMER TRINITY SCHOOL
FAMILY, OPERATING A "STUDENTS-TEACHING-STUDENTS" MODEL THAT GIVES HIGH-POTENTIAL MIDDLE
AND HIGH SCHOOLERS FROM UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR
WILDEST DREAMS. ACROSS 14 SUPER SATURDAYS EACH SCHOOL YEAR—AND A SIX-WEEK SUMMER
INSTITUTE—WE EXTEND RIGOROUS ACADEMICS, MENTORSHIP, AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING THAT
EMPOWER SCHOLARS TO EXCEL NOW AND THRIVE IN COLLEGE AND BEYOND.
Palmer Trinity's grounds buzzed with celebration as we capped the year with our 8
th
-Grade
Commencement—honoring the cohort that first walked through our doors as 4
th
-graders.
Having conquered four years of Saturday Academies and summer institutes, these Scholars
are now bound for Breakthrough University at the University of Miami, where their high-school
journey—and continued tutoring/leadership roles—await. None of this is possible without our
partnership with Palmer Trinity School and it's amazing faculty and staff.
The day overflowed with community spirit: the Breakthrough Miami PTPA crafted personalized
gift bags for every graduate, while the Palmer Trinity Dad's Club fired up the grills for a
celebratory burger bash. Together, we sent our Scholars off ready to take on life's opportunities
and equipped with the skills and lessons learned at Breakthrough Miami at PTS.
