Hundreds of Denver high school students are expected to take part in the district’s first-ever College Ready Institutes to be held throughout the summer at several DPS high schools. These school-based institutes are designed for students who are interested in building their knowledge of the skills necessary to be successful in Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Concurrent Enrollment courses.
Within each institute, students will take part in different workshops that are structured to help them prepare for the rigors of college and beyond. Through active writing, stimulating discussion, and fun interactive group activities, students will learn the different aspects of rigor and college readiness.
Whether the student is planning to attend a four-year college, a two-year technical school or join the workforce or military immediately after graduation, diving into these 21st century skills, students participating in the College Ready Institutes are destined to have a memorable learning experience.
Throughout the institute students will engage in the following:
