Enjoying High School with an Eye on College
For the graduating Peabody 8th grader, the next four years present the opportunity to lay a significant foundation for success in college. But the college admissions process can feel daunting and impenetrable. A global approach to the high school years can lead to enhanced admissions prospects for students—and peace of mind for them and their parents—as they prepare for college. Please join us for a night with Clayborne Education, including founder and former Peabody parent Clay Daniel, who will present wise and forward-looking approaches to the high school years, the college years, and beyond. This session will be held April 10th starting at 6:30PM.
