Saturday College (con't)
- Mathematics
Saturday college mathematics exposes the students to a variety of ways to experience math. Math classes include: pre algebra, algebra, geometry and trigonometry.
- Science
Saturday College students have a variety of science classes from which to choose. Classes include biology, chemistry, physics, and anatomy.
- Language Arts
The language arts program for Saturday College focuses on a variety of topics. Students are engaged in literature, vocabulary, grammar, and writing workshops throughout the year. The writing skills are fine-tuned so our students are able to express themselves fluently and with clarity.
- SAT Prep
Implemented in 1999, Saturday College students who are juniors in high school were involved in a year long preparation for the SAT exam. The intense preparation for this exam was designed to strengthen our student's confidence and ensure their success. It is now a part of the student's curriculum.
- Parent Network
Concurrent with the academic year, the Saturday College Parent Network produces a series of workshops relevant to the concerns of Saturday College parents, including the selection of the proper high school curriculum. Other workshops include the high school and college application process, funding private education and financial planning. Parents are involved in fundraising for scholarships awarded to high school seniors. Parent meetings are the first Saturday of every month.
- The Challenge -- The Student
Reaping the rewards of an academic enrichment program is only possible through hard work and dedication. Making a conscious decision to pursue these rewards means dedicating oneself to hard work and regular attendance. The reward is the preparation for college and the knowledge that in 1999, 100% of the students in the Saturday College Senior Component were accepted to universities across the country.
- Good candidates for the Saturday College Program are those students who:
- will make a commitment to work hard and attend the program regularly
- will enroll in college prep programs at their high schools
- can count on their parent/guardians to be active in the Parent Network
- are at or above grade level on...
