Last fall, we launched this program with the primary goal of better preparing our graduates for academic and social life beyond PBS. This was a program designed to help address elements of preparedness that may not have already naturally been a part of a PBS student’s experience. We hope that, over time, this program will keep PBS families from feeling pressured to seek outside resources to assist students with middle school readiness. This is the tenth in a multi-part series examining the work accomplished by various faculty teams over the summer.
