The students take part in
four academic classes each morning:
- Math
- Science
- Foreign language
- Composition and Literature
The students choose
three elective classes to take each afternoon. Recreation and
social activities are planned for each evening to give each student the
opportunity to enhance his/her socialization skills. A cultural
trip is planned for the last four to five days of the program as well as
short cultural excursions throughout the summer. A stipend is paid
to each student for each week attended during the summer component at
the end of the program. A career work-study is in place for
students to gain experience in work ethics and careers that require a
post-secondary degree.
Recently graduated students attending the summer can qualify for a bridge class. This is an actual college class that is paid for by Upward Bound. Students them may transfer this class to the college of their choice. |
