Freshman Track

Build the Foundation for Everything That Comes Next

​

Freshman year is not about college applications — it’s about learning how to succeed in high school without burning out.

​

The DC2 Freshman Track helps students adjust to high school academically, emotionally, and practically. It focuses on building strong habits early, managing stress, understanding how grades and transcripts work, and exploring interests without pressure.

​

Students learn:

  • how high school really works (credits, GPA, transcripts)

  • how to manage time, stress, and overwhelm

  • how to recover from setbacks and ask for help

  • how to explore activities safely and strategically

  • what colleges actually care about — and what does not matter yet

 

This track lays the groundwork for the next three years so students don’t spend junior year scrambling to fix things that could have been built calmly from the start.

​

Best for: 9th graders, students transitioning into high school, and families who want a steady, low-stress beginning.​​​​

Junior
Track

Turn Preparation Into Action

​

​

​Junior year is the most demanding, and the most misunderstood, year of high school.​​

​

  • how to research colleges effectively and build a balanced list

  • how admissions offices evaluate applications

Sophomore Track

Explore, Build Skills, and Start Gaining Direction

​

​​​​

Sophomore year is where students begin turning awareness into intentional growth.​​​

​

​​

  • how to deepen extracurricular involvement

  • how leadership actually develops over time

  • how to explore majors and careers realistically

  • how to build early experience through volunteering, work, or programs

​

Best for: 10th graders, students who feel unsure about direction, and families who want momentum without stress.

​

Senior
Track

Apply With Confidence and Choose What’s Right for You

​​

Senior year is not just about getting in — it’s about making the right decision.
