- An in-school academic support program for grades 5-12 that prepares students for college eligibility and success.
- Places academically average students in advanced classes.
- Levels the playing field for minority, rural, low-income and other students without a college-going tradition in their families.
- For all students, but it targets those in the academic middle.
- Implemented school-wide and eventually district-wide.
