Students receive academic instruction, tutoring and counseling. Academic and social growth are monitored throughout the year. Students visit colleges and cultural sites, complete college applications, learn about the financial aid application porcess, and participate in service learning and leadership development activities. During the Summer Program, students live on the campus in a residence hall. The students are tested to determine strengths and areas of needed improvement.
Class sizes are small.
Individual, career and group counseling are an important element of the program. The residential program is six weeks. Cultural enrichment trips, student leadership, service learning, career internship and recreational activities are also a part of the Program. During the summer, graduated seniors participate in an Upward Bound Bridge Program, a six-week residential program specifically designed to prepare them for collegiate experiences. Bridge students enroll in college courses and participate in workshops and seminars.
