High School

(Strategic Preparation)

The four years of high school are the most strategic phase of a student’s academic journey. Every decision—from course selection to extracurricular involvement—can directly influence college admissions, scholarship eligibility, and future career opportunities. The goal during this stage is to ensure that by the first semester of senior year, each student is fully equipped to apply to colleges with confidence, a strong academic and extracurricular record, and a clear sense of direction. Early planning and consistent guidance transform these years from routine schooling into intentional preparation for life beyond graduation.
