As a component of ֱ Home Learning 3.0, the ֱ College Bridge program allows students to take online, individualized college preparatory courses in English and/or mathematics and access online college and career supports and tools.
The disruptions in learning that resulted from COVID-19 increased disparities in college readiness for ֱ students. ֱ College Bridge provides free options for districts to help 2020-2021 high school seniors become college ready. The optional ֱ College Bridge program has two main components:
- The free online college readiness curriculum provides optional online, alternative course options for college preparatory math and for college preparatory English, competency-based progression, and dashboards to monitor and adjust student progress.
- The free online college and career supports and tools provide student-facing college and career planning tools, activities, trackers, information resources and guides for college and career exploration, as well as training developed specifically for college and career advisors.
