About Us
But really, it's about you.
Who We Are
Middle Tree is a nonprofit learning community led by experienced educators and passionate staff who deliver meaningful academic and job readiness support beyond the traditional classroom, helping students build confidence and long-term success.
What We Do
Our goal is to make quality education accessible and affordable to every member of the community.
We offer a variety of programs designed to support student development. While we’re not a formal school, we recognize that many students in public education don’t always receive the individual attention they need due to limited resources and teacher bandwidth. Our programs provide a supportive environment with dedicated tutors and supplemental instruction that help students catch up, retain knowledge, and truly thrive.
K-12 Education Programs
From year-round homework help to summer enrichment programs at our centers that reinforce what students have learned, we keep students engaged and help them develop a lifelong love of learning.
We offer our Unlimited Program, which allows students to drop by any time during our business hours to get support or simply find a quiet spot to get work done before heading home.
Tutoring
Our SEED Program provides one-on-one tutoring to help students overcome challenges in core subjects like math, reading, and writing. This appointment-based program is designed to give each student the personalized support they need to succeed—available both virtually and at our centers.
After School Programs & Partnerships
We partner with school districts across California—and beyond—to provide in-person afterschool enrichment, tutoring, and other support programs. Our services offer districts cost-effective alternatives to hiring full-time staff while helping students thrive.
Workforce Development Programs
As students move forward in life, college isn’t always the right path for everyone. Our affordable Medical Assistant Programs—offered in both administrative and patient care tracks—equip students ages 18 and older with valuable skills and certification to help them begin a meaningful career after high school.
Our Pillars For Success
For our team, your student’s success is our top priority. We work to cultivate a lifelong love of learning while helping students overcome current challenges. Below are the three pillars we focus on when addressing areas for growth.
