Academic Year
During the academic year students will meet with the Pre-College Teacher to complete an Individual Success Plan that allows for the staff to assist students with career exploration, consideration of colleges/universities, financial aid, scholarships, pre-plan their academic career, monitor high school progress, and target personal goals.
The Upward Bound staff will also coordinate tutoring twice a week. Tutoring serves as a support in their high school academics that gives students a remark of having a supportive learning environment to achieve their goals. Our teachers from the three school sites will facilitate tutoring along with tutors.
Field Trips
Students during the academic year take two field trips, one in the fall and the other in the spring. These field trips serve as community engagement, service-learning opportunities, cultural awareness, team building, etc.
Workshops
Diverse workshops are held that target academic needs, college/university exams (SAT/ACT), inspiration, mental health, nutrition, financial literacy, career exploration, guest speakers, etc. These workshops will enrich students’ motivation, study habits, skills, etc.
