College prep can start as early as middle school

Oak Hill, WV (WOAY) As students are getting ready for the immediate school year, it’s also important to start thinking long-term. The college admissions process can seem like a marathon, but keeping a few things in mind starting as early as middle school can help ensure a smooth process throughout your child’s education.

  • Helping your child develop strong organizational and time-management skills will serve them through high school and beyond.
  • Middle school is also a time to discover interests. Encouraging your teen to try activities, from sports to music to clubs, can open doorways to scholarships and lifelong passions.
  • Work with your teen and their school counselor before freshman year to develop a four-year-plan that includes college-preparatory classes and continued involvement in extracurriculars.
