The Primary goal of the Pre-Collegiate Middle School Adademic Program is to adequately prepare potential first-generation college students for a successful middle school career and eventually a successful high school and professional career by exposing them to specific areas of interest, complemented with the essential academic advising of middle school and high school course selections (in cooperation with their parents and guidance counselors). In addition, during the academic year the students are afforded relevant Saturday Academies in:
- Basic Study Skills
- Academic Skills Enhancement
- Interpersonal Skill Development
Parents of participating students will also be afforded workshops during Saturday Academy sessions which will include Effective Parenting Strategies, as well as strategies on how to prepare financially for their student's college education.
