About
Academic Enrichment - We successfully recruited our 19th Cohort of scholars this year while continuing our earlier start initiative by having Cohorts 18 on campus throughout the academic year with students enrolling from Seattle, Renton, Highline and other surrounding districts. Meanwhile, Cohorts 16 and 17 completed their final summer in August 2018 with 100% earning placement into independent schools or highly-capable public school programs. Cohorts 18 completed their school year in 2018-2019 also achieving a 100% placement rate in college preparatory settings with 26% in public school programs and 74% earning placement at independent schools. Cohort 18 continued our increased rate of independent school placement as a result of our earlier start initiative.
