At Class 101, our mission is to empower, serve, and inspire our students from day 1 of freshman year through their college journey! But just as important as any test score, grade, resume builder, or achievement is selfless service of one’s community. We believe in connecting every student with the opportunity to volunteer with local organizations doing great work for our neighbors.

Start Your Separator

At Class 101, we encourage all students to brainstorm, plan, organize, and execute an independent separator project during their time in high school. The purpose is twofold. A separator project demonstrates that a student is highly capable and driven, that they are motivated to take action in their community, and that they contribute, not just consume, in their educational journey. Thus, a well-executed separator makes a student more competitive in college admissions. More importantly, a separator project is an opportunity for a student to take full ownership for something they care about. These project push students to identify needs around them, brainstorm creative solutions, and work to make their community just a little better each day. Interested in starting your own separator project? Reach out to us for insight and help!

We believe in uplifting others, helping them to find their own path and achieve their beautiful and unique dreams, and that passion doesn’t end with our students! Volunteerism is a vital piece of our community, and service is an integral part of who we are. Above all, our greatest hope is to empower selfless students who want to change the world! Thank you for contributing to your community!
