BUS Program 9-12
Our Believe-Understand-Succeed (BUS) Program combines personalized academic and life skills instruction with post-high school opportunities for our students experiencing homelessness in grades 9-12.
The goals of the program are three-fold:
- Help our high school students graduate with a high school diploma.
- Provide our students with exposure to the most critical 21st Century skills.
- Connect our students with organizations that provide post-high school opportunities.
Pre-program reflections are used to personalize the student’s curriculum. The structure of each one-hour session includes 30 minutes of academic support (homework help, digital learning through our platforms in Freckle.com, CK12.org, etc.), and 30 minutes of life skills learning.
Our life skills curricula covers:
How to
Get a Job
How to Get Into College
How to Get Into Trade School
How to Manage Money
How to Excel in High School
Post-Program Reflections measure changes in student confidence, obtain student feedback and allow them to choose their next life skills topic.
