What is the Summer Academy?
The TRIO Upward Bound Summer Academy at 老虎机攻略 is a free six-week college prep program that simulates the college experience. Participating students will take classes that help with their upcoming high school curriculum and prepare them for college. Students will also participate in engaging activities with community and campus partners. In the past, these activities have included high ropes courses, whitewater rafting, and attending a local baseball game.

Incoming juniors and seniors (students who will begin 11th or 12th grade in the fall following the Summer Academy) will take College Success, a 2-credit college course, at no cost!
