Quick Facts about ABCLM:

  Founded in 1973

Our program is an all-male boarding program, with a house that can fit up to 9 students (it currently houses 7).

All ABC-LM graduates (over 90) have gone on to 4-year colleges/universities and over 95% have graduated in 4 years.

Recent graduates have attended Haverford, Bowdoin, Drexel, SUNY Stony Brook, Syracuse University, and the University of Maryland.

The Resident Director--a Princeton graduate--and his wife are both graduates of Villanova Law School.

Three  live-in tutors, all college graduates, supervise mandatory study hall 5  nights a week and arrange for week-end activities such as movies, paintball and get-togethers with other local ABC programs.

Each students is given a laptop by the school district for use at home and in school to complete academic assignments.

ABC-LM provides private SAT tutoring for all juniors and seniors.

Each ABC student has a support network that includes an academic advisor, a host family, and a house relations committee.
