ACADEMIC PREPARATION
Students receive after school and summer training, tutoring, enrichment courses and programs, academic assistance and planning.
What is Academic Preparation ?
Academic preparation is the foundation of the college and career experience. Students who work more effectively with good time management skills in high school will reduce their stress during the college process and in their careers.
Part of being prepared means taking advantage of the opportunities available in high school. Hard work and a focus on achieving high academic standards in high school will help with secondary education.
It’s best to begin the college and career process early as preparation is important. There are countless details involved in the college admissions process, and gaining the knowledge necessary in a timely manner is crucial to ultimately making the final decision on where to attend colleges and trade schools.
COLLEGE GRADUATES WITH A BACHELOR’S DEGREE TYPICALLY EARN 66 PERCENT MORE THAN THOSE WITH ONLY A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA; AND ARE ALSO FAR LESS LIKELY TO FACE UNEMPLOYMENT.
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
