Differences between High School & Middle School:
-
Students entering high school are going to be encountering much harder work than they did in middle school.
-
Students are also going to have a much heavier work load than they did in middle school.
College Preparation:
-
The difference between an average student and an exceptional student is often attitude. It is crucial for college-bound high school students to maintain the proper attitude toward their learning and a strong work ethic.
-
If students want to enter the college of their choice in today's highly competitive environment, it is essential that they demonstrate steady high performance.
-
Class difficulty level in combination with the grades students receive in those classes is the number one aspect of a student’s college application that admissions officers look at.
-
If students have high SAT scores but are taking low level classes and/or have poor grades, their chances of getting accepted at a competitive school are not very good.
-
Four semesters per year: fall, winter, spring, and summer.
-
Fall, winter, and spring semesters run for twelve weeks with classes offered once a week on Saturdays.
-
Summer semester runs for six weeks, with students coming twice a week.
-
Math and English classes run for two and a half hours each.
Students have the option of enrolling in one or both subjects.
Parent-Teacher-Student Relationship:
-
It is also very important that parents take active rolls in their children’s education and stay abreast of their progress.
-
Children are very influenced by their peers at this time in their lives. Parents need to know what their children are doing in school and out of school.
-
Accel works with parents and students to synthesize a healthy parent-teacher-student relationship and learning experience.
