SUTTON SCHOLARS

Who We Are

The Sutton Scholars® High School Enrichment Program helps youth in Baltimore become confident, competent individuals by teaching essential soft and other life skills necessary to develop socially and emotionally, and to achieve academic, workplace, and personal success.To meet these needs in the community, Sutton Scholars is a year round program that provides five weeks of curriculum on the campus of Mercy High School, teaching time management skills; workplace etiquette; healthy interpersonal communications and conflict resolution strategies; relational, emotional, nutritional and physical health; financial skills; and other selected life skills to the students. Sutton Scholars also compensates our youth for their community service, incorporated into the program, allowing those who need to work to support their family’s income, to participate. Instruction occurs on campus at Mercy High School except for one week, which Scholars spend visiting the Claggett Center, the Diocese of Maryland’s camp and conference center in Frederick County.
