It is never too early to start thinking about college, even before the ninth grade! College doesn't just happen; students and their families have to prepare. Students must develop a strong academic record with a college preparatory curriculum, become involved in a range of extracurricular activities (including SEED Academy!), prepare for the PSAT and SAT, and research colleges, scholarships and financial aid. Now is the time to plan for the future.
