Students
Project Discovery is more than a club and better than a class. It's a way to meet new friends and develop new skills before you graduate high school. It's also a way for you to learn how get into college or vocational training after high school. Everyone tells you that you need additional training to get a good job. You know that's true. Well, Project Discovery can help you learn where that training is and more importantly, how to pay for it.
Project Discovery can help prepare you for SATs and ACTs. It offers fee waivers for the tests and for college applications. You can learn about how to manage your time, set goals, and handle all the money you'll make after successfully completing school. There are cool summer programs too, if you want. And of course, there are trips out of town to college campuses. While on these trips, there are opportunities to visit museums, see a play or concert, or maybe a sporting event.
When joining Project Discovery, you will meet others, much like yourself. Students who know they need college and want to learn how to get there. You will all face similar problems and hurdles and Project Discovery will help you every step of the way. Project Discovery students are more inclined to make good career and life choices.
