educational programs that meet the following criteria:

of their capacity as productive members of their society. These needs
must include education, but also may include housing, food and a
nurturing environment. |

The program serves children of all backgrounds,
regardless of age, sex, race or ethnicity, religion, and economic status. |

The program has a historic rate of success, having
been established and functioning for a significant period of time. ... |

The program enjoys the support of the local community." |
