This course prepares postgraduates for college and life outside school. The first semester focuses on the college preparation process, with dedicated time for work on applications (including essays and supplements), as well as discussions around learning styles, the recruitment process, practice for on-campus tours and interviews, and college athletics. The semester concludes with lessons on leadership and financial literacy, culminating in a group presentation with written reflection.
The second semester is defined by each student’s individual passion through the Postgraduate Project. This is a multi-faceted assignment that requires design, critical thinking, problem solving, research, media literacy, organization, communication skills, and hands-on experiential learning. This project is a culminating academic and intellectual experience to prepare students for college, modern careers, and adult life.
