Grade Level Boot Camps

Booker T. is implementing Boot Camps in an off-site experiential format to address the specific developmental, social and academic needs of each grade level through team building and intensive academic intervention.  The Freshman Seminar will address study skills, time management and transition to high school tips. The Sophomore College will assist students in understanding the connection between academic success and real-life choices with a focus on test taking strategies and preparation for the DC CAS test.  The Junior Leaders will be focused on college and business exposure, SAT prep and social skill building.  The Senior Class will be mentored to fine-tune their post secondary choices (e.g. college, technical school, workforce) with support on the SAT/ACT exams, job interview skills, apprenticeship opportunities and transition from high school tips.  In the photo gallery there are pictures of the Boot Camp experience.
