High School Transition
Students have many options when it comes to high school programs in New York City. Some schools require entrance tests, many do not. Recently the Department of Education has created new small secondary schools that offer various curricular programs; most large high schools have several programs in one building. Selecting the "right high school" is very important; students and parents/guardians need to begin early, explore the options, and make informed decisions.
This two-hour interactive workshop is designed to address:
- the admissions process
- selecting the "right" high school
- hints for success in high school
- tips for parenting high schoolers
