Welcome to College Summit

Our Tools

College Summit builds the capacity of schools to dramatically increase the number of students who advance to college. Districts use College Summit to build a post secondary planning infrastructure that fosters a college going culture across each high school.

Schools and districts succeed by:

• Introducing a post secondary planning course for all seniors.
  - Tools: Comprehensive curriculum that guides students through every stage of planning; and a web site for students to manage their college application materials.
• Providing teachers and counselors with professional development to lead the course.
  - Tools: summer Educators’ Institutes to equip educators to lead the course, plan lessons, and build a college culture in the classroom; plus on-site technical assistance throughout the school year from College Summit staff.
• Training peer leaders to forge a college going culture.
  - Tools: immersion summer Workshops for each school's influential rising seniors, where they complete their entire college application and are equipped to return to school senior year to motivate their classmates.
• Using data to manage college enrollment progress.
  - Tools: College Application Scorecards that enable administrators to assess progress and identify improvement strategies; plus annual College Enrollment Reports.
