By "academic," we mean that participants take classes that are either college classes or classes that are organized by Upward Bound. Students may choose from a variety of diverse and enriching classes designed to enhance skills necessary to succeed in high school and transition to college. We offer classes in Composition, Literature, Math, Lab Science, Foreign Languages, Computers, and other subjects. 我们的课程帮助参与者在他们的高中获得选修学分. 他们也可以在有时间的时候报名参加皇冠365官方app的课程.

We also offer a Summer Bridge Program for recent high school graduates to help them bridge to college life. These participants take a college class and are employed in a work-study position on campus. 他们也可以住在宿舍,并参加住宿顾问实习. 

参与者在暑假期间学到了很多关于大学的知识. 他们也会与正在上大学的导师一起工作. 我们的许多导师在高中时都是上进计划的参与者.
