CONSIDER THE ALGEBRA ACADEMY
Congratulations on your promotion to high school!
The Launch Academy is a FREE online, virtual 3.5 week summer program for incoming high school students that allows participants to be active as they learn about algebraic concepts through fun, project-based activities. Students focus on their futures as they gain skills in how to manage the transition into high school, learn about college preparation, and explore career opportunities that match their interests. The purpose of the Launch Academy is to provide students with a foundation and understanding of algebra and high school that they can build upon to achieve success in their future courses and on their path to a university education.
Program staff can work with Launch Academy participants' high schools to see if students can earn 0.5 units of high school elective credit.
The Launch Academy will serve 30 student participants on a first-come, first-served basis. We ask that you respond prior to our Priority Deadline of Friday, June 4th at noon.
