About Us
Alexander Twilight Academy (ATA) is a free, longitudinal high school and college access program that provides hard-working, high-potential students from under-resourced backgrounds with the highest-quality educational and life-enriching opportunities. Named after the first Black American to graduate from college in the United States, Alexander Twilight Academy makes a long-term commitment to serve each student and family we admit from middle school through college and beyond. ATA develops leaders who will change the world and empowers the next generation of great thinkers, creators, and changemakers to live meaningful lives of passion and purpose. Through rigorous, year-round academic programming, support, advocacy, enrichment, and mentorship, ATA prepares middle school students to earn admission to and thrive at the nation’s top high schools, colleges, and beyond.
