About Hutchins Legacy

Back in 2015, Marie wrote in her journal: "Show me how to make a real difference." Little did she know that prayer would lead her to Harvard Kennedy School's Emerging Leaders Program in 2022. There, surrounded by people changing the world, she realized something important getting into college was just the beginning. Real success meant building leaders who would make a difference.

Coming home from Harvard, Marie worked with a student who would change everything. Using a new approach that combined leadership training with smart college planning, she helped him earn over $2M in scholarships and get into Stanford. This wasn't just luck - it was a system that could work for any ambitious student.

Loving, Caring, Knowledgeable, and more! Most of today's youth are lost and misguided. However, when you have a place like Hutchins Academy, it's like a home away from home. The youth are working hard and enjoying themselves while building integrity, responsibility, honesty, and more. Marie Mott could not love the children any less than as if they were her own. From academic planning (present and future), breaking past cycles, emotional stability, and learning to deal with cultural interference in the world, they are becoming well-prepared to address and progress in situations that may arise. Friendships, scholarships, confidence building, generational curse breaking, career planning, and more the Hutchins Academy is truly remarkable for our young scholars. I couldn't ask for a better mentor/program for my children.
