We are currently creating a new and royal space for Young Queens and Kings Scholar Program (YQKSP). Please stay tuned for updates.
The Young Queens and Kings Scholar Program (YQKSP) at the Samuel W. Mason School focuses on the social-emotional development of the young people in the program through circles and educational enrichment opportunities. Through this empowering program students have also created learned entrepreneurial skills by creating their own newspaper and an before and after-school snack stand. Youth participate in daily recreational and environmental projects such as urban agriculture and local field trips. YQKSP offers a 1 to 4 facilitator to student ratio. What an incredible resource for Mason scholars!
