Academic Preparation - What Parents Can Do

Parents can begin to prepare their children for college early by:

• Helping them take the right junior high and high school courses based on the type of school they wish to enroll in after high school.

• Encourage them to maintain good grades throughout their high school experience.

• Helping them decide on the right school by researching the school’s curriculum, the size of the school, the type of school, and a school’s affordability. Parents should also encourage campus visits.

• Helping them obtain and complete admissions applications.

• Assisting them with essays and preparing for admissions interviews.
