TyAnthony Davis is providing students an environment where they feel SUPPORTED… A place where teachers have high expectations because they BELIEVE in them 👏🏿👏🏿 In fourth grade Davis was able to attend a school for gifted children, an experience he credits with changing his life for the better- that has stayed with him on every step of his journey. After receiving degrees from Yale, UNLV, and Harvard Law School- he went on to practice corporate law in LA… But his heart was in education! At 29, TyAnthony decided to change direction and opened @voxcollegiate to students, focused not only on typical school skills – but skills students need to be successful outside of academia…Focused on building an individual voice in each student.. 🗣 A voice that will empower students to become future leaders and advocates – for themselves and their communities.⁣

“You have to come with the mindset that if these students had a choice to sit in the classroom or leave, this has to be a classroom where they would choose to stay.” ⁣
