includedClass Experience
Beginning high school is both exciting and nerve-wracking. Adjusting to a new school environment with new expectations and opportunities is sometimes a challenging prospect - especially when you realize that college is just on the horizon. Enroll your child in this six-week course to set them up for success and feel more prepared to walk in the doors of their high school on day one! Students will receive a variety of strategies from a professional educator who has helped many students build their college resumes to get into the college of their dreams! Video lessons will be provided with optional assessments. Handouts are also provided for additional reference. ***The differences between the self-paced and the live class (aside from the obvious!): - The live class will provide particular graduation requirements for the individual student; the self-paced will direct the student on where to find their specific requirements on the Internet - The live class will provide insight into particular colleges of interest for the individual student (up to 3 schools); the self-paced class will provide general information provided by many of the top schools in the USA
