guided campus tours

Customized campus tours for groups of high school students grades 9-12.  Your College Knowledge professional will work with your school or organization to personalize a tour schedule that best fits the needs of the students, school and community.  The program offers the opportunity to visit large, small, private, public and HBCU institutions.  We will meet with the admission representatives at each school, take a walking tour of campus and eat in the dining hall.  This experience will help to define what a 'good-fit college' looks like from a variety of domains--academic, social/emotional and financial.  

curriculum

The College Knowledge curriculum provided throughout the trip helps to supplement some of the work already being done by high schools in their college preparatory curriculum.  Trip topics include:  profiles of each college, admission requirements, college majors and course of study, aspects of student life on campus, various support services available for college retention, work-study options, study abroad possibilities, residence hall living, campus safety, the college application process, standardized test scores, financial aid, understanding the 4-6 year graduation rates of each college/university, a list of related college questions to ask admissions and tour guides…and more.
