Since 1986 our High School Prep course has been covering these areas, resulting in hundreds of students gaining confidence and becoming better prepared for the responsibilities and challenges of their high school years.

Students' priorities tend to relate more to making a smooth social transition into high school; therefore, the better equipped they are to efficiently study and manage their time, set goals and communicate well in writing, the more time they will have to devote to the other enjoyable aspects of school life! This course helps prepare students for this transition.

Classes begin with one week in late August emphasizing effective writing and introducing study skills. The writing component hones the craft of writing and its application across the curriculum. Students develop improved written communication skills following the steps of the writing process.

Follow Up Sessions:  The students then return in late September and October for four additional sessions on Sundays for 1.5 hours each. These four sessions follow up with the study skills techniques. The sessions focus on effective learning and review strategies and note-taking skills. Students benefit from the practical application of these techniques to their actual course material.
