The Education for Excellence Program (TEEP) is a free five-week summer program for middle school students from under-resourced communities across the city.
Academic classes are taught each morning by faculty from the three Cathedral schools. Afternoon cultural and enrichment activities include community service, drama, sports, stone carving, and other activities at the Cathedral.
TEEP is designed to enrich the minds and lives of students, engage them creatively, and engender a love and discipline for learning.
History of TEEP
The TEEP program was founded at Trinity Church New Orleans in 1967. Since its inception, the goal of TEEP has been to provide low-income students with a program of academic and cultural exploration. Canon William Barnwell brought TEEP to Washington National Cathedral in 2006.
