Middle School Program
The Pre-Collegiate middle school program recruits 7th and 8th-grade students to participate in workshops during the academic year to promote leadership, social-emotional, interpersonal, and academic skills development. Our mission is to prepare students for high school and broaden post-secondary options so that students have greater access to college and other career fields.
