The A6-1 program was founded by the late Dr. Mildred Myers, a beloved educator, innovator, and academic mentor who dedicated her life to empowering young scholars through rigorous, meaningful research. Dr. Myers believed that high school students—when given the right structure and mentorship—could produce work that meets professional academic standards. Her vision became the foundation of the patented A6-1 curriculum.
Though Dr. Myers passed away, her mission continues. Today, the program operates in her honor, staying true to her belief that early academic excellence can change a student’s entire life trajectory. Every student who completes the A6-1 journey becomes part of her enduring legacy—a growing network of ambitious, research-driven youth inspired by one woman’s commitment to unlocking potential.
Through every research question, draft, and final presentation, Dr. Myers’ impact lives on—guiding a new generation of thinkers, leaders, and scholars.
