MEET THE FOUNDERS
Phil, Kelsey and Charleigh Vitillo
Kelsey and Phil are residents of the Jersey Shore area. They came across the Apogee Program through social media and immediately felt aligned with the Apogee mission. Kelsey, having 12+ years experience in education, found herself seeing a shift had happened in the school system knew she needed to make a change. Phil, knowing that the education system was broken from an early age, felt they found their calling to change the education game. Wanting more for young heroes, future generations and their daughter Charleigh, they decided to take a leap of faith and open up Apogee by the Sea.
