Why Are These Resources Important?

Participating in extracurricular activities such as clubs, sports, or having a job or internship outside of school is a cool way for your kids to explore new things and learn more about themselves. It takes more than just good grades to get to college! When your kids apply to college, the people who decide if you can get in look at these activities along with your school grades. It helps them see what they are interested in and how they have been involved outside of class. So, joining these activities not only lets your kids have fun but can also make their college application stand out. 

 

We understand that for parents it may be overwhelming to look for these academic resources. The purpose of this page is to provide families with accessible resources that will help their children succeed.
