Success By Six Schools Program

The Tryall Fund's visionary initiative “Success By Six”, a comprehensive early intervention plan

designed to give early learners a foundation for lifelong learning, growth and self-sufficiency.

The Tryall Fund is committed to developing and implementing the model program, “Success by Six”, for preschoolers (3-5 years old)

and their caregivers. It encompasses education, literacy, health and nutrition. The Fund believes early intervention will give

the children of Hanover the best chance for success, and will make the greatest impact on our larger community.

The Fund adopted its first school, Sandy Bay Community Basic School (SBCBS) in January 2010.
