S.T.E.P.S. to Success with The College Edge
Our S.T.E.P.S. (Strategies & Techniques for Enhancing Performance & Skills) to Success program introduces important skills, techniques and strategies to maximize success on test day, and provides advice for entry-level college and career planning. Also includes The College Edge, a college-application preparation program for rising high school seniors.
This program for rising high school seniors helps college-bound students develop a plan to prepare their college applications. As many students struggle to begin collecting the components that make up the application packet, we'll get them started with their college applications and essays. Students will prepare an activity list, which can be turned into a résumé if they wish. In addition, they will organize all of their materials and information in an individualized reference binder.
