Beginning with two years of 100% college acceptances behind them, the Class of 2012 has a tall order to fill – Threepeat!!! Seniors will start the year with a College Planning Workshop on Wednesday, August 31st from 6-8pm, where they and their parents and guardians will have a chance to take advantage of workshops geared to help them negotiatiate all aspects of the college application process. Joseph Paige from Springfield ACCESS will join to conduct a workshop on Finacial Aid and the FAFSA, workshops will also include Common Application, Finding the Right Fit, and writing the college application essay. Seniors and their families will also learn of the requirements and deadlines specific to The Springfield Renaissance School. This year seniors will have a College Planning Handbook to help guide them through every step of the process.
Ultimately The Springfield Renaissance School’s College Planning Team is acutely aware of the need to ensure that students make good college choices to ensure that they graduate from college within four years. This is an important hurdle for many students who enter college and falter due to lack of academic preparation or financial aid.
