High School and College Bridge Program:
The Computer Assisted Debate Program seeks not only to equip students with critical thinking, research, and public speaking skills, but also information and skills necessary to successfully navigate through the transition to high school and the college admission process. This aspect of the program offers students test taking strategies, financial aid and scholarship information, high school and college mentors, and opportunities to visit college and universities campuses. The program seeks to demystify the high school and college admission processes by building a healthy dose of enthusiasm for education. The goal is to have students view education as a very real and necessary part of achieving their future goals and aspirations.
Below are several web resources provided to inform and encourage students as they make the transition from High School to College.
