As your student settles into their high school experience, it’s time to look forward to what’s next. Zenith Prep Academy’s college readiness program for tenth graders is the perfect place to start.
Our counselors work one-on-one with students from grades 6-12 to help them build up all the things that top colleges are actually looking for: unique extracurriculars that show initiative, concrete achievements that show a student’s ability to plan and execute, a challenging course load that shows a student’s academic preparation, and a sense of joy and curiosity that goes beyond the accumulation of awards and grades.
Essential College Prep for Tenth Graders
Zenith has an acceptance rate to Ivy League schools that is five times the average acceptance rate at these colleges. These results don’t just come about overnight: they are the result of long-term planning and work that we do with our students to help them build their skills and then share those skills with the world.
The Importance of Extra Curriculars
Having a 4.0 GPA is great, but students must do more to secure Ivy League acceptances. Our pre-college planning program for tenth graders invests in students’ interests outside the classroom and encourages them to go beyond the standard things that a student might do like play on a varsity sports team or just be a member of a coding club at school.
For a student who is interested in tennis and wants to major in biomedical engineering, we can help them get started researching the muscular structure that helps create the perfect serve and present that work at science fairs. For a student who enjoys being part of the coding club at school, we can guide them on how to find hackathon competitions to take part in to really show of how they can innovate quickly and collaborate with others.
Embarking on Career Exploration
The most successful college students know how their passions can build towards an exciting future. When colleges hear an applicant saying that they want to major in premed or embark on a career in finance, the college wants to know if that student actually understands what they are talking about (colleges know that only 17% of students who say they want to do pre-med actually complete that path).
Our counselors help students embark on career exploration early, helping them learn how to build their resume, reach out and find internships, and get concrete experience. That way, then a Zenith student applies to college, they can actually speak with conviction and excitement about how they want to use the opportunities that a college offers.
Building Time Management Skills
Of course, great grades, unique extracurriculars, and proactive career exploration are only possible if the student has the time to do all of these things. Zenith counselors help students develop first-rate time management skills so that they can balance all these different parts of their life.
