你在Landmark College的暑假收获了什么

我们的暑期大学准备计划, 面向即将上大学的高中毕业生, is all about preparation—through practice and exposure—for that crucial first semester of college. It is also about 了解从高中生到大学生角色的转变. Even the most high-achieving students often face unanticipated difficulties in their first semester of college possibly putting them at risk for failure or struggle. 问题往往不是由于缺乏学术能力而产生的, 而是从大学环境中所要求的独立性的巨大飞跃.

Students are immersed in a living/learning experience that offers a real “taste” of college life and the college-level work they will encounter in the fall. 他们对自己的学习优势和需求有了清晰的认识, 并发现资源和自我宣传如何帮助他们在大学取得成功. This preview of college life can help to alleviate anxiety and foster the confidence needed as students encounter the new demands of college.
