Chancellor University to Sponsor Marion Sterling Elementary

The mission statement of iDREAMability, creator of the "Believe" program, is to improve the lives of children through non-cognitive enrichment programs which will foster the socio-emotional skills which children need to possess in order to succeed in school as well as in life.

The purpose of the "Believe" program is to increase the students' self-esteem and to inspire them to succeed. These positive themes will be reinforced throughout the school year through a variety of methods, including motivational assemblies.

"Believe" t-shirts will be provided to the students, faculty and staff and worn on "Believe" days in order to create school unity. Weekly inspirational PA announcements, encouraging music written specifically for the program, and self-esteem building workbook activities will round-out the program. "Believe" Days will be held regularly and it is on these days that Chancellor employees will be on hand to participate in an ongoing tutoring program in order to enhance the educational experience of the students.

"We recognize the importance of instilling positive attitudes towards learning at an early age, and that motivation and encouragement are essential ingredients in a quality education," said Robert Daugherty, President of Chancellor University. "We are looking forward to contributing in a positive way to the efforts of the dynamic group of individuals who are working very hard to obtain a "Promise Neighborhood" grant as well as other endeavors to make the Central Avenue neighborhood a model community for others to emulate."

Chancellor University was founded in Cleveland in 1849. It has served students in Northeast Ohio since then and has served students on-line since the late 1990s. The school currently enrolls students from 45 of the 50 U.S. states and several foreign countries.

Since 1978, Chancellor University has been accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. IN FEBRUARY 2010, THE HIGHER LEARNING COMMISSION ISSUED A SHOW CAUSE ORDER TO CHANCELLOR. ALL CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS SHOULD VISIT THE CHANCELLOR WEBSITE TO REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS SHOW CAUSE ORDER.
