E-R-A: Enrichment, Remediation, Acceleration. A plugged-in high school student now has excellent choices when it comes to summer study—all from the comfort of her or his computer at home (or even at Starbuck’s!).
College admissions counselors give extra points to students who take summer courses, even when no credit is awarded. That’s because taking a good course indicates a student’s desire to continue intellectual development beyond the normal academic year. Learning doesn’t stop at the high school doors.
Beyond this general notion of scholarship, there’s a more important potential in summer online coursework: a student can actually pursue a nascent interest, exploring advanced levels of knowledge that may support choices about the future. JRA Educational Consulting has always promoted continuous learning. At this time of the year, we’re quite busy planning our support for students taking courses in one of our centers or on-line, students who want our assistance to delve into summer studies. With our 24/7 accessibility, either in one of our learning centers or virtually over the Internet, JRA Educational Consulting provides an ideal choice for students deeply involved in summer studies:http://www.scoreatthetop.com/private/courses-credit
