EARLY HIGH SCHOOL: WE’VE GOT THIS

EARLY HIGH SCHOOL WE’VE GOT THIS

In our over 65 collective years working with high school students, we have learned that the first two years of high school offer a unique opportunity for student engagement. It is also during these first two years that students have more time to explore their interests and think about things that will make their junior and senior years less stressful. We created the Early High School Essentials program for freshmen to set them on a path to investigate their interests and take initiative.

Freshman year is the optimal time for students to investigate their interests, go out of their comfort zone, and try new things– but most first-year students don’t know where to start. We created a set of inventories to investigate interests both inside and outside of the classroom and guide the development of three to four high school goals. What students try in their first year becomes the building blocks for their high school experience and future college applications. Participating in early high school essentials also secures a student’s spot if they want to continue on to the College Calm Comprehensive College Counseling program that starts sophomore year.

Unlock your full potential from the start.
