**Introduction to the Summer**:
During the summer program, we focus on building a community that has high expectations for academic achievement, personal development, behavior, and student accountability. The students will be living in a residence hall and supervised by a team of tutor counselors and program advisors. They will be taking high school courses in literature and writing, mathematics, science, SAT prep, STEM, dance, and foreign language. In addition to these courses, the students will have the opportunity to participate in recreational, social, cultural activities, and field trips. The Upward Bound Program seeks individuals who can commit to expected timeframes and support our philosophy, mission, and Code of Conduct (document to be provided if offered an interview). **Overview of **SAT** Mathematics Preparation Course**:
The curriculum and learning objectives for the assigned class should be designed to improve the skill base of program participants in the SAT Math sections of the SAT. Innovative approaches should be used to better prepare students to think and reason at a higher level, enhance problem-solving skills, emphasize mathematical modeling, facilitate mastery, and increase students’ confidence and skills to improve their scores in the SAT Math test.
