Preparing Students For College And Career Success
We offers academic enrichment programs to cohort students: Concurrent Enrollment, Summer Sessions, and Senior Seminar. These programs offer students a chance to become stronger college applicants and to prepare for the academic rigors of the following school year and beyond.
Our program partners with UC Berkeley Summer Sessions to offer students the opportunity to enroll in a six-week UC Berkeley course during the summer. Cohort students going into their senior year and who have a 3.5 GPA (weighted) or higher are eligible to apply. Past courses have included Anthropology, Computer Science, Environmental Earth Sciences, Ethnic Studies, African American Studies, and Greek & Roman Mythology.
We partner with Community Colleges around the Bay Area to offer our 10th and 11th grade students the opportunity to enroll in the spring courses. This will allow our students to build a competitive college application profile. In addition to the course they are enrolled in, students will attend academic skill-building seminars as well as tutoring support to ensure successful completion of the program. Students will select from a list of transferable courses which will appear on official transcripts and help build their college applications by the time they are ready to apply.
This seminar will focus on the UC Application and will help prepare you to identify and begin to respond to the Personal Insight Questions. If you are eligible to apply to a UC campus this Seminar is for you! If you are considering applying to any college or scholarship that requires a written response, you may find this Seminar helpful. This multi-day event will consist of two webinars a day and all eligible participants will secure ongoing support through the end of July with developing their PIQ responses.
