College Prep
One thing they can do is take a career interest quiz. This will help them to begin thinking about what they want to do after high school.
You can consider visiting a college or university when you are traveling. This is a great way to start the college process. It will give your student a chance to imagine what it might feel like to go away to school.
If your student plays sports, please familiarize yourself with the NCAA and NAIA athletic recruiting requirements.
Study Skills and Homework Help
There are a number of online resources that are helpful to families and students.
PSAT is Coming Soon!
