Source Code is a Scarborough-based, literacy-first innovation academy dedicated to helping K–8 students get back to grade level in literacy and math before entering high school. We partner with teachers, K–12 students, and families in high-priority schools serving Black, Indigenous, racialized, and low-income communities that are historically under-resourced, and we run school-based and community-based programming in neighborhood improvement areas. Through our partnerships with K–12 schools and community organizations, we focus on real-world learning and culturally responsive programs that integrate literacy, mathematics, digital skills, entrepreneurship, creative arts, mental health, financial literacy, fitness, food security, socio-emotional learning, and social justice. Our approach combines education, technology, and community care to ensure every child—regardless of background—has the support and tools to thrive. Our two programs, outlined below, include the Close the Achievement Gap Program for K-8 Students and the Technology Library for Underserved K-12 Schools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/23a31c54-26b2-44b7-bd1f-fe0a893ae8d4/4-IMG_0034.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/4f2e4f1e-0815-4674-bc41-96f99db2bf95/shuriii+-+PS43+%28July+16th+overview%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/616e81a4-a1f3-4084-8005-3fb3055949e2/Curtis+Carmichael+shuriii+headshot.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/fb6e85dd-8ffe-4a1e-9f2f-a8638ae12cb7/13-18950956_10211611827264897_1971596030986909113_n+2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/8ec4e1b5-a1a3-4972-a69d-60fb4e4d28d0/IMG_0934+2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/9e59d43c-67b1-42ed-98db-03a06e28fa00/1-IMG_2790.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/3a67bd51-cc5a-4eba-b844-18366133678d/IMG_3618_2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/3fb40924-46b6-4542-a92c-0aba8e420374/30-UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_1b86.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/cd99b917-f5d2-463d-86e6-a5f1fceb09f5/IMG_2509.jpg Home https://www.sourcecodeacademycanada.ca/team daily 0.75 2025-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/616e81a4-a1f3-4084-8005-3fb3055949e2/Curtis+Carmichael+shuriii+headshot.jpg Our Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/c4475d67-62ee-459f-bb39-5c74576e07e4/1731094206465.jpeg Our Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/00301d39-2adb-4a85-911a-dfcf1b66f914/img_8167_l_857x1200.jpg Our Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/23538745-40bb-43f2-bd38-7fc24dc194c1/314928927_489844449781355_3818600053614481454_n.jpg Our Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sourcecodeacademycanada.ca/theory-of-change daily 0.75 2025-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/3e0cf938-e65d-46fc-a9c2-227730ea59c3/PNG-30.png Theory of Change - A Theory of Change (ToC) is a visual description of the changes we would expect to observe as a result of our programs in the short and long term. In other words, it’s our very own conditional (if, then) statement. If we do X then Y will change because…. In the not-for-profit sector, a ToC is often used for planning and evaluation of social change. It’s used to help explain the process of change by outlining causal linkages in an initiative, i.e., its shorter, intermediate and longer-term outcomes. The links between outcomes are explained by rationals, assumptions or statements of why one outcome is thought to be a prerequisite for another. Source Code Academy’s Theory of Change is here. At Source Code Academy Canada, as we design programs and then aim to measure their impact, a ToC and all of its assumptions helps to show all the different pathways that might lead to change (even if those pathways are not related to our programs or experiences). It describes how and why we think change happens and helps inform decisions about why our programs are designed in specific ways. As we grow our team and secure more capital to scale our programs, events, workshops and curriculum development, our future evaluation efforts – feedback surveys, focus groups, and more, all aim to measure whether or not change is happening and if our assumptions hold true. As more evaluation data becomes available, our ToC may evolve and be refined all with the goal of helping us better demonstrate progress on the achievement of our outcomes and the BIG change we want to see in Scarborough, Toronto, Canada, and globally. https://www.sourcecodeacademycanada.ca/mission daily 0.75 2025-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/34fea76b-fb46-4bd1-a7ec-70c9a0a4d51b/vr.png Mission - Disrupting Poverty with Literacy-First Innovation Centres Source Code is a Scarborough-based, literacy-first innovation academy dedicated to helping K–8 students get back to grade level in literacy and math before entering high school. We partner with teachers, K–12 students, and families in high-priority schools serving Black, Indigenous, racialized, and low-income communities that are historically under-resourced, and we run school-based and community-based programming in neighborhood improvement areas. Our first program, the Close the Achievement Gap Program for K-8 Students, supports these students in catching up to grade level while empowering teachers with the training and data tools needed for tailored, evidence-based interventions. Secondly, our Technology Library for Underserved K-8 Schools ensures equitable access to learning by providing computers, tablets, and digital tools to low-income, high-priority schools across Ontario, helping to develop digital skills and self-sufficiency for future opportunities. Through our partnerships with K–12 schools and community organizations, we focus on real-world learning and culturally responsive programs that integrate literacy, mathematics, digital skills, entrepreneurship, creative arts, mental health, financial literacy, fitness, and social justice. Our approach combines education, technology, and community care to ensure every child—regardless of background—has the support and tools to thrive. Our vision is to create a generation of young leaders from underestimated communities who are equipped to excel in the future of work and make meaningful contributions to society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1652287869832-Q54Z7AE9DQEJNF6YNIDC/MPCF_Logo_Horizontal_May2016-01.png Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1760891693649-DUJ4SBH2T7O5RCXH77DQ/Northpine_Logo_RGB_220302.png Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1647708879065-XDG47RMB35M4YWS8LU9X/FirstBookCA-final-RED-Updated_transparent-672x372.png Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1760891614310-XMRUN0O12R8X5Y8O8XZI/ed32b408-1cf3-4cfe-9f56-b4699fde7f23_rw_1920.jpg Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1645733498150-SNE8VLYL9ONLBDG8LAYY/OTECH.png Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1645733499462-ISWMD3898NBZZRZORG6N/TCHCLogo.png Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1760891554691-KEBEN5I1DOXILJCLL6DH/shuriii_logo_black+%2812%29+%282%29.png Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1760891803426-90BD5L5TB0AGWDLVCRVL/Peel_District_School_Board_Logo.svg.png Mission https://www.sourcecodeacademycanada.ca/media daily 0.75 2025-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1645805805520-CV7NMGXN9GIG96LIFQM0/ByBlackslogo_335x113px.png Media - byblacks Not All Heroes Wear Capes - The Curtis Carmichael Story and The Founding the first Futurist Academy in Canada for the next generation of children, youth, and educators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1645805666469-9PHGRCGQIPWDLAMUEM2B/chatter+that+matters.png Media - Chatter That Matters COMMUNITY MATTERS to Curtis Carmichael https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1645805669928-Y7EE36DX4X8565LGZF71/Toronto%2BStar.png Media - Toronto Star Scarborough-born activist and educator Curtis Carmichael wants to help kids thrive, not just survive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1645805665220-BPDTBLXBWH80M7XI6L0G/Global+news.png Media - Global News Toronto man cycles across Canada for those living in Toronto public housing projects https://www.sourcecodeacademycanada.ca/contactus daily 0.75 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1671831840054-PHAIL0I5KRT6QBRRJC2Q/Niftykids-logo-color%404x-cropped.png Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1645805134683-P80CZ41Y180QGCPBSJGS/OTECH.png Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1652288032018-UDE79JY8UX7FOH7ADTE2/MPCF_Logo_Horizontal_May2016-01.png Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1645805134175-75QW4EXXXWC4F4Z36YP8/queens-logo-transparent-horizontal.png Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1645805133233-XLAGVZNBJYTMGERDRARD/TCHCLogo.png Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1648055294410-0OH69CLRPFCGS0Q8G5X4/Jays-Care-Foundation.png Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1647709151172-ZL9UOQ4HLRF9SSPHSWJK/FirstBookCA-final-RED-Updated_transparent-672x372.png Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217da0838f3aa0dd208ab0f/1650510747586-WX5XKCTARGSBCHJV34DU/SETC_GearLogo-01-768x393.png Contact Us
