Who We Are


Nancy Berger, Ed. M., M.S.
Executive Director
nberger@upgradeacademics.org

After 25 years as an executive of a multinational corporation, Ms. Berger decided to leave that career to pursue her true passion for education. In the short span of four years, Ms. Berger earned Master's degrees in both Secondary Education and Educational Administration, and certifications as a Secondary English Teacher, School Building Administrator, and School District Leader.

In 2004, Ms. Berger founded our organization, with the goal of tailoring programs and services to the individual needs of underserved students. She successfully combined her executive skills with her social conscience, expanding our services into supplemental education, wrap-around vendor services, and SAT preparation.
