Preparing for High School

As the summer comes into full swing, you might be wondering how to prepare your students for their big transition to high school—and to make the most of their time away from school. AtomicMind is here to help!

Summer To-Do List

The summer before 9th grade is one of the greatest anticipatory periods of a young person’s life. Our team at AtomicMind is ready to help students navigate through the upcoming excitement and uncertainty of entering high school. We’ve compiled a list to get you started:

1. Make the effort to learn something new! Consider enrolling your child in a Coursera class to explore a new topic of interest.
2. Check in with your child’s school about any required (or recommended) summer reading or assignments. For support completing summer work, please reach out to AtomicMind to be connected with a subject specialist!
3. Participate in summer enrichment activities, from sports to independent writing. Looking for ideas? Check out the list we’ve compiled below!
