Inspire your students to succeed in high school and beyond
Nothing prepares students for college-level studies more thoroughly than a rigorous, high-quality high school education. In today's demanding academic environment, educators face a challenging range of classroom conditions with students from diverse ethnic, financial, and academic backgrounds. How can educators navigate these challenges to connect students with educational opportunities beyond high school? Which strategies and programs yield real results?
For over 100 years, the College Board has partnered with leading educators, schools, and colleges to create innovative programs that help students, families, and educators:
- Evaluate each student's academic strengths
- Challenge students to explore their interests and reach their potential
- Inspire students to do their best work
- Pursue educational opportunities beyond high school
