Roughly 6-8 students participate in our program each year. We recruit highly motivated students of color from challenging environments across the country and bring them to our community for the academic school year. Our students usually enter the program as freshmen or sophomores and attend the Masconomet public school in Topsfield until they graduate.

ABC students make many sacrifices to achieve their goal. They are away from their families during the school year and return home during the holiday season, the winter and spring breaks and during the summer break. ABC students follow a rigorous study schedule that includes nightly tutoring during the school week. The scholars complete rigorous advanced courses, and are required to participate in extracurricular and community service activities. Every ABC student must maintain a minimum grade point average of a "B" or better.

The benefits to the students are tremendous. ABC helps these students blossom into better academic scholars who are ready for the best academic colleges and universities in the USA. 100% of our local scholars since 1974 have gone on to attend college.  Our graduates have gone on to such outstanding institutions of higher learning as Brown University, Colgate, New York University, Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, and Stanford University, to name just a few.

ABC Masconomet, Inc. (ABC Masco) is based in Topsfield, Massachusetts and has operated since 1974.
