Enrichment Activities

College Readiness students are offered a wide range of opportunities to cultivate interests in a variety of areas, while helping them to develop a clear vision of who they are and what they want to be. Highlights include: 

Washington D.C. Experience

College Readiness middle school students experienced five action-packed days in Washington DC through the generous support of Close Up Programs. This unique opportunity provided students with enriching, once-in-a-lifetime experiences that included visits to the White House, participation in mock Congress, visits to the major monuments in the National Mall and the Holocaust Memorial.  Day trips to both Jamestown and Williamsburg gave students a glimpse of American History as they learned what colonial life was like.
