The Simon Youth Peabody Learning Academy at Northshore Mall in Peabody, Mass., was featured in an April 1, 2011, report from the CBS radio affiliate in Boston, WBZ NewsRadio 1030. In the story, the superintendent of our local partner in education, the Peabody Public Schools system, says the academy is a model for providing crucial educational opportunities through community partnerships for at-risk students.

Superintendent Milton Burnett, Ed.D., goes on to tell the story's reporter that opening the academy was "absolutely the right thing to do" for the students whose personal circumstances require a learning an environment that differs from the traditional classroom model.
