As parents of younger students, it’s natural to prioritize their current education without necessarily thinking about college just yet. However, at Lake Forrest Prep, we understand the importance of laying the foundation for future success early on, including preparing students for college readiness, even before they reach middle school. Here’s how our focus on college readiness benefits students, starting from the earliest grades:

Academic Achievements

Our curriculum is designed to challenge and engage students at every level, laying the groundwork for academic excellence from the start. We want all of our students to be curious about what they’re learning and excited to see a challenge. We instill in students the skills and habits of mind necessary for success in college and beyond.

Critical Thinking Skills

Critical thinking is essential to becoming a well-rounded citizen. We help our students develop critical thinking skills. We encourage students to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information across various subjects. This fosters a deep understanding of concepts and prepares students to tackle complex challenges both in and out of the classroom. By establishing these patterns early, students can take on more complex curriculums as they get older! 

Strong Foundation in Core Subjects

Mastery of core subjects such as reading, writing, mathematics, and science is essential for college (and even high school) readiness. Our comprehensive curriculum ensures that students develop a solid foundation in these areas, building the skills they need to excel in higher education.

Emphasis on Communication and Collaboration

Effective communication and collaboration are vital skills for success in college and the workforce. Through group projects, presentations, and class discussions, we provide students with opportunities to hone their communication and teamwork skills from an early age.

Character Development

In addition to academic preparedness, we focus on character development, instilling in students qualities such as integrity, resilience, and responsibility. These character traits are essential for navigating the challenges of college life and beyond.

By laying the foundation of college readiness from the earliest grades, we empower students to reach their full potential and achieve their academic and career goals. At Lake Forrest Prep, we believe that laying a strong foundation for future success begins now, and we are committed to providing students with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to thrive in college and beyond.
