We Train Boys To Be Men

The vision for WALIPP-TSU is to provide a rigorous and comprehensive educational opportunity for male learners, offering high-quality education and enhanced academic and social development to at-risk, inner-city youth that will effectively equip them with the tools needed to succeed in college and in a diverse, global society.

WALIPP-TSU fosters a student-centered learning environment that provides for the needs of the male student; an environment that models high expectations for academic and non-academic achievement; and a highly respectful atmosphere for students, staff, family, and community. Each young man is recognized as an individual with unique abilities, needs, and interests.
