Course for Postsecondary Planning

College Summit’s tools are designed to be integrated into a school’s structure and culture, starting with the schedule. Our partner schools incorporate College Summit’s curriculum and tools into a class for credit, ensuring they successfully integrate with other coursework and the school routine. Our approach is to build the capacity of schools and their districts to do this work themselves.

There are different ways to structure the class based on time and frequency, and College Summit staff will work with each school to determine the best approach. Analysis of the structure from across the country indicates that 60 minutes or more per week throughout the school year are necessary for students to complete the key curricular activities and to ensure they have sufficient time to develop an individual plan.

Making college going part of the high school curriculum is the only way to ensure that all students, no matter their Grade Point Average (GPA), test scores or family income, can get the information and support to plan and prepare for their best option after high school.
