Colt PLUS Pathways
My family and I will be forever grateful for the Colts program and to Amanda Colannino for her continuous guidance, patience, and dedication to the boys and to us as parents. The program embraces the fact that everyone learns in their own way and it provides students with the necessary accommodations and assistance they need to excel academically. The boys are challenged to learn and adopt critical study and time management skills, which will serve them well throughout their lives. Accountability and responsibility is instilled in these boys in a nurturing way as they transform into young men. The Colts program gave my son the opportunity to thrive in a highly competitive academic environment, building his confidence and providing him the tools he will need to take on college. The creation of the St. Miguel program is a true testament to the strength of this program and the need to provide future Colts with the opportunity to experience the Christian values, special bonds, and brotherhood that CBA is best known for. We feel very fortunate to have been a part of the Colts program and hope it will only continue to grow and prosper.
