Some students qualify for a state-funded jobs program.
In their schools, students work closely with counselors and teachers who offer tutoring services and help resolve lifestyle issues. In another component, the six-week summer program, students receive a more intense academic program where they sharpen their skills and brush up on a variety of subjects including foreign languages, math, English, SAT preparation and computer science. They also enjoy recreational events and are on the move on field trips to faraway sites where they visit museums, science centers, cultural and creative events to name a few.
