Getting Ready for College

Introduction

"I remember her first day of kindergarten." If this rings a familiar bell with you, I'm here to help. Before you know it, the time has come for your child to leave for college. Are the kids ready? Are the parents prepared? Has your child taken the best courses for his future while in high school? Are there scholarships available? Does it matter if he/she lives at home or chooses a school 2000 miles away?

If these questions are rumbling around in the back of your mind, please join us for some great information about getting your teen ready for the college experience.

Whether your child is 13 and a high school freshman, or 18 and rolling through the last semester of high school, this course will give you some useful information, some common sense tips and some good, old "back to basics" for the entire family. Join us.
