High School Juniors & Seniors: Thinking About College?

Be prepared for college by understanding the way your brain works and developing your own solutions for learning success.

The School of Education’s Headways program is an intensive two-week summer program for high school juniors and seniors to explore learning strategies and technology tools that enhance important skills such as:
  • Organization, Executive Function and Stress Management
  • Collaborative Problem-Solving, Creativity and Critical Thinking
  • Attention, Memory and Academic Language
  • Writing, Research and Presentation Skills
 
Headways prepares students (including those with learning challenges) for the demands of college and work settings after high school. Through the program, students explore and understand their individual learning profiles and identify a personalized set of technology tools and digital strategies for academic success. After the program, students will receive a certificate and detailed recommendations for digital strategies that will help them succeed in school and work.
 
Developed by Pace University professors, learning specialists and college counseling professionals, Headways is grounded in current neuroscience principles. Engaging, interactive experiences include an outdoor problem-solving adventure and a full-day, hands-on workshop in a laboratory at Rockefeller University. Headways also includes a parent information session focused on how to support the transition to college.
 
The program costs $1,500 and a $150 deposit is due by July 1 to reserve your place. For more information, or to recommend a student for this dynamic learning opportunity, please contact Karen Ferro, School of Education Senior Staff Associate, at (914) 773-3872 or kferro@pace.edu
