Members of the Duke Community and partnership neighborhood residents know that a strong education increases children’s opportunities as they grow into adults. Duke has been focused since 1996 on working with Durham Public Schools to boost student achievement and to enhance learning, teaching and artistic enrichment opportunities in the seven public schools and one charter school near campus. This close relationship with the school district and with teachers and administrators in neighborhood schools has inspired thousands of children -- and enriched the lives of scores of volunteers who have taken part. Each school’s needs and interests are different, so the partnership works with each one differently.
