Leonardo Radomile, director of the Cambridge Learning Center, announced today a special accelerated learning program for minority students to prepare them for medical school admissions. The program will focus on preparing students to take the medical school admissions test referred to as the MCAT.
“Each year there are so many more qualified students than there are seats in medical schools. It is especially important that minority students increase their admissions since they will often return to work in underserved communities.”
Radomile and staff members will be working particularly closely with students from the Boston metropolitan area.

Leonardo Radomile will be joining Andy Zelleke and Tony Mayo in delivering a series of lectures on business development sponsored by Zhongzhi Enterprise Group, one of China’s largest nonbank financial enterprises. The conference will last over three days and cover such topics as corporate governance, value creation in negotiation, and business leadership.
Leonardo’s lectures and workshops will focus on recent research in neuroscience and positive psychology which has discovered the underlying mechanisms that produce higher performance, greater job satisfaction, and longer employee retention.

Leonardo Radomile, creator of The Renaissance Learning Program, has been awarded a scholarship to pursue studies and conduct research in inner city education and community development.
“I’m particularly interested in the motivational and relational factors that contribute to both student and adult achievement. What are those factors that contribute to successful healthy lives of students leading to successful careers and sound family formation? How do we assure that parents and children in the inner city get what they need to have successful lives and strong families?
I’m grateful to Harvard’s continuing generosity. They made great contributions to the success of the Renaissance Learning Program and now they have been very generous in helping me to do the work necessary to extend the reach of similar programs.”

“I’m really honored to be giving a talk to the graduate students at Harvard. The School of Education has so many bright and dedicated students who really are committed to making a difference in students’ lives, particularly those students in distressed areas. I hope I can contribute some insights into how they can be more effective in helping these kids.” We could have never been as successful without the generous commitment from the Harvard faculty.

Leonardo Radomile announced today that a study by Harvard’s Graduate School of Education recognized The Renaissance Learning Program as one of the most successful after school programs in the country.
“This was a real team effort and we’re grateful to so many people who contributed to our success, particularly our teachers and the help we received in design and implementation from faculty at the University of Kentucky and Harvard. Without the tireless work of all involved we would have never been able to support our students to the degree that they deserved.”

Leonardo Radomile, Executive Director of the Cambridge Learning Program, announced the creation of the “Renaissance Learning Program” designed to give inner-city students the same learning opportunities provided by the best private schools.
According to Radomile, “inner-city students simply aren’t provided with the same learning environment and incentives offered to more affluent students”.
The program offers a challenging after school curriculum that includes highly structured English grammar, writing, and literature, advanced mathematics, music, foreign language immersion, and a competitive athletic program. “We designed this to give these students the same curriculum and support that they would receive at the best prep schools.”
Leonardo Radomile brings a unique set of experiences to this project. Born in the inner-city to working class parents he achieved the highest academic honors winning admission to Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi. He then went on to do graduate work at the University of Chicago.
“We owe a lot to faculty members at Harvard University and the University of Kentucky who helped us design this program. Rest assured that I and the members of our faculty will work tirelessly to make sure that these students achieve all that they are capable of.
