Special Programs College, Career, & SAT Prep Five Credits (nine-week course) Open to Grade 11 PREREQUISITES: None DESCRIPTION: This quarter-long course is designed to help students explore college opportunities and responsibilities and prepare for postgraduate careers. Beginning with a self-inventory of individual skills and interests, the course helps match students with colleges and career paths that match those interests. Specific college and university admission requirements are researched and individual academic achievement analyzed to determine if students meet particular college criteria. In addition, students are introduced to the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and instructed in performance-improvement strategies for the SAT. By the end of the course each student will have compiled a personal college portfolio to assist him with achieving his college and career goals. |
