College Summer Prep Programs
College Bridge and Summer College Enrichment
YWLCS encourages student to take their college preparedness to the next level with College Bridge. Through this program, interested students are able to attend courses at local colleges and universities while still enrolled in high school. Past YWLCS students have elected to take courses at a variety of city colleges, as well as DePaul University in courses that range from Forensic Science to Sociology. By taking on college-level coursework during the school year or over summer vacations, students are able to graduate YWLCS with their college career already in progress!
Summer College Enrichment Programs provide another essential facet of the college preparatory experience. Students attend educational institutions across the state and country, and return having built skills and relationships that they often describe as “life-changing.” Students are strongly supported by the school in this endeavor; YW makes programs like the All-Girls Expedition to Yellowstone National Park financially possible for participating students, and has developed relationships with institutions interested in supporting the potential of our young women. Additionally, programs specifically geared towards YWLCS exist. Through the generosity of institutions like Smith College and individuals like Linda Salisbury, cross-cultural college experiences are made possible through the unique STEP-UP program.
