College: Mission Possible

As soon as our ninth graders arrive at ACC, we begin exposing them to colleges and universities in and around Boston.  Our freshmen have already toured B.U. and Northeastern this fall.  The sophomores traveled to Salem State and visited the campus for a day.  Our juniors split into teams and participated in a college scavenger hunt (pictured above), learning about thirteen schools in total.  Twelfth grade students engaged with college admissions representatives at a college fair held at ACC in collaboration with Boston Community Leadership Academy.  We believe it necessary to explicitly review throughout a student's high school career what is required to be accepted to the college of one's choice, as well as what is required in order to graduate from there.  High school is the tool to equip our young people with the critical thinking and analytical skills necessary to succeed in a post-secondary environment.
