In these classes, learners will be utilizing the College Board website to help with the college search process. College Board is a mission-driven not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity. College Board aims to prepare students for a successful transition to college through programs and services in college readiness and college success—including the SAT, the Advanced Placement Program, and BigFuture.
