Partners

The Military Impacted Schools Association (MISA) sponsors SOAR in partnership with the University of Northern Iowa, The Princeton Review, and Skills Tutor.  We have come together to provide resources to assist with the unique challenges for military children.  Our hope is that SOAR will help children improve in their academic endeavors, and ease the transition of moving from one military installation to another.  While we are working to assist the 550,000 children of our military personnel, we know that their classmates will also be the beneficiary of these resources.
