“Jumpstart to Graduation”

 A Summer Bridge Program
For Smaller Learning Community (SLC) Schools

“Jumpstart to Graduation” is a Summer Bridge program to help students make a smooth transition from middle school to high school both academically and socially, and to set their sights on graduation in 2013. This spirited and high energy academic acceleration and enrichment program will “jumpstart” rising 9th graders’ high school experience by helping them prepare for the rigors of high school. Along with improving academic skills, students will make friendships with peers and build relationships with teachers that will aid them in their freshman year and beyond.            

PROGRAM GOALS

·         Orient students to the high school facility, introduce them to faculty and staff, and share extracurricular opportunities, including sports and clubs

·         Provide opportunities to preview the 9th grade curriculum in English and math, embedding study skills activities and emphasizing student-centered engagement.

·         Introduce students to college and career through a variety of activities, completion of a career interest inventory, goal setting, and a field trip to a local college or university
