Who We Are

About Us

  • Education Plus, Inc., d/b/a Education Plus Health, is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 1982 to operate supplemental testing services for students to determine educational needs related to learning differences and capabilities, with the goal of improving and developing competencies and outcomes through tutoring and other special programming.
  • Education Plus Health moved to Pennsylvania in 2009 and currently serves over 7,000 students across (11) schools and school-based health centers in charter, public, and private schools and more than 300 families of children with asthma through Department of Public Health and Pediatric Practices.
  • Understanding that education and health outcomes are closely interrelated, our model supports the whole student from elementary school through high school and beyond school-based health care paired with our afterschool enrichment programs and post-secondary educational opportunities that currently serves more than 200 high school students in the 21st Century Afterschool Program at one of those schools.
