To achieve this goal, our high school preparation program provides the following supports to middle school students and their families:

• Introduce students to high performing high schools through field trips and a high school fair.

• Facilitate one-on-one high school planning meetings and next steps. 

• Inform families on the high school selection process in order to find a strong fit for each scholar based on their academic history, interests, strengths, needs, and geographic preferences. 

• Facilitate family workshops on topics such as applying to charter, magnet and private high schools, applying for financial aid, choosing a school that is best for your child, and supporting your child in the transition to high school. 

• Build partnership with area high schools. 

• Support middle school students  in building skills in the academic application process, including high school entrance exam preparation, personal statement writing, and interview skills.
