“What we need more than anything else is not text-books, but text-people. It is the personality of the teacher which is the text that the pupils read: the text that they will never forget.”
—Abraham Joshua Heschel
Mr. Nat Damon
Founder, Executive Director
Reach Academy for Young Men embraces diversity and values the integrity of the individual. Individual differences of religion, culture, socioeconomic status, national origin, race, ethnicity, biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, physical appearance, and ability are acknowledged and respected. Every member of the community strives to behave in a sensitive, open, and respectful manner.
A diverse student body is an essential component of an experiential education. Students are most able to understand, appreciate, and respect differences in a setting that includes these differences. Reach Academy for Young Men seeks a diverse community in order to fulfill its mission to provide a strong, humanistic education for all students.

Our new home

Reach Academy will benefit from its state-of-the-art classrooms, robotics lab, technology access, field space, gym, walking trails, basketball courts and swimming pool.
We are grateful to All Saints' Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills for providing us their gorgeous campus during our formative years. We credit ASBH for the spiritual ethos it fostered in our community. We will always view our foundational years as being crafted by being there, and our partnership will forever be remembered.
