About us
The office of pre-college programs is an educational endeavor of Calvin College that invites students of all grade levels to begin thinking—stretching their minds—about participation in their communities and in the world, both now and ultimately as adults.
This goal is achieved by:
- providing academic guidance and enrichment programs
- offering preparation in college entry activities and test taking
- affording exposure to subject areas and careers
So that they, with their families, will:
- understand the wide array of educational options after high school
- experience what a college campus has to offer
- arrive at high school graduation equipped with requisite skills
- be able to select a college that matches their desires
The office of pre-college programs creates and implements programs for those with whom Calvin has established partnerships in educational ministry. Many of these partnerships relate to specific churches and schools, ethnic minority and low-income populations. The office also identifies partners within the college for effectively integrating the College Positive Volunteerism framework into regular college operations.
