Using the summer to your best academic advantage

Ah, summertime.  Time for teens to sleep in, go to the pool, work part time and...go to college prep camp? Summer is prime time to get your rising 11th and 12th grader ready for college.  Waiting until school starts in the fall puts a barrier of distraction in your teen's way.  
 
Making college decisions like what to major in and where to study and working on writing college admission essays all take quiet time.  Teens need and deserve the opportunity to reflect on what they want to do and how they want to get there.
