    Communities & Families

    In Season 2 Episode 3, Jonathan introduces us to Mr. Angelo Garcia, Fouder and Head of School for Segue Institute of Learning in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Much more than a building where learning occurs, Segue offers services and programs, actively pursuing relationships with their scholars and families. The culture of Segue is built on civic engagement and civic duty, leading scholars by example to get engaged, do the hard work, and be citizens of change.
