High School & Beyond
Still time to sign up for this summer!
Dear Graduating 8th Graders and Parents,
Now that you have a better idea of where you will be going next year, it is time to start getting ready for high school!
The Chaucer Drive Study Center runs a week long summer program appropriately called High School & Beyond. I will be helping to direct the program and is has proven to be very beneficial to previous WA students.
If you would like to learn more about it, there is more information below.
You can still sign up at www.chaucercenter.net, but spaces are running out and all applications are due by April 15th!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Mr. Hoff
Why High School & Beyond?
As you begin high school, college may seem like something in the far distant future. It is not. Before long, you will be taking the SAT, going to college fairs, and poring meticulously over applications. Your options in choosing colleges will be determined by your performance in high school, which begins with your freshman year. A smart entering 9th grader will begin planning his high school career before he even walks through the school doors on the first day of class.
High School & Beyond is a program designed to help responsible students make the most of their high school years and maximize their college opportunities. It makes use of a well-crafted curriculum combining lectures, readings, discussions, strategy games, and team sports. The program challenges students to think critically and to establish goals and pursue them energetically.
