College Readiness Programs at Doulos Discovery School
At Doulos, we want your student to be personally, academically, and spiritually prepared for life beyond high school. Therefore, we developed our college readiness program, which seeks to prepare your student for success in and beyond Doulos. Below are the three most important aspects of our college preparatory program:
-
- Classes: The best way for your student to prepare for life after Doulos is to help him or her excel in their learning. At Doulos, we will encourage your students to take challenging classes that promote personal, academic, and spiritual growth. We will encourage your student to both discover and use their talents and interests in and outside the classroom. Your student will take college prep and test prep courses in their junior and senior years.
-
- Crew: Crew is a project-based college preparatory class. Crew will challenge your students to discover their God-given gifts and passions, find a program beyond Doulos which magnifies these gifts and passions, and help him or her transition to this new environment.
- Counseling: Your student will receive individual and group counseling throughout high school. The goal of these meetings is to equip your child with the social and emotional tools to develop well in high school as well as use career and vocational theory to help your student better understand their fit in the world of work.
What is the school’s role in the college process?
We will support, counsel, and be a resource through this process. We are happy to help your students as they take the incentive to explore this college process. We do not get you into college, but we are here to help you or your student with any questions you might have.
What are the parents and their student’s roles?
- Communicate with counselors and ask your students daily about their college process.
- Encourage your student to be proactive about the college process. Your role is to do the research and understand the process with your student. Look at schools and application due dates online with your student.
- Start saving money. Look into your budget and save a little money each month.
- If you invite American friends into your home or host work teams share your child’s story with them and build that relationship.
- Encourage your student to show you their fundraising letters and to seek help from other faculty as well.
