我们的暑期大学准备计划, 面向即将上大学的高中毕业生, is all about preparation—through practice and exposure—for that crucial first semester of college. It is also about understanding the changing role of a high school student to a college student. Even the most high-achieving students often face unanticipated difficulties in their first semester of college possibly putting them at risk for failure or struggle. 问题往往不是由于缺乏学术能力而产生的, 而是从大学环境中所要求的独立性的巨大飞跃.

本课程旨在帮助学生:

  • 学会阐明需要注意的个人学习问题
  • Identify the specific supports and accommodations they’ll need in college—and how to access them
  • 体验一门典型的大学水平的入门课
  • Learn and practice self-advocacy skills they’ll need to navigate through their freshman year
  • 运用组织能力, 有用的习惯, and useful behaviors needed to succeed at college—and identify problem habits and behaviors that might surface during their first year
  • 开始从青少年过渡到年轻人的过程

Students are immersed in a living/learning experience that offers a real “taste” of college life and the college-level work they will encounter in the fall. They develop a clear understanding of their personal learning strengths and needs, and discover how resources and self-advocacy can support their success in college. This preview of college life can help to alleviate anxiety and foster teh confidence needed as students encounter the new demands of college.

Students who struggle with social anxiety and have difficulty making friends have the option of participating in social support activities, 包括社会实践研讨会和学生事务活动. Resident assistants are available as peer mentors to provide information about activities and to help students feel connected to the Landmark community.

注意:为了进入这个项目, students must provide a letter of admission to a four-year college or university. 诊断的学习障碍不需要参加这个项目.

每个学生还将学习大学写作和执行功能 & Study Skills, where they will put into practice the skills and strategies from the lecture course.
