Course Overview - EZ Cloned

Academic Enrichment  

These activities provide students with exciting and rigorous project-based courses across the humanities, STEM, and the arts. Here, we focus on strengthening key academic skills that are necessary for college success as well as exposing students to new areas of study through partnerships across Columbia University and a range of organizations throughout NYC.  Courses are taught by a select group of Columbia doctoral students and dedicated practitioners who are passionate about their areas of study and working with students in Harlem and Washington Heights.

College & Career Success  

Students are immersed in a range of activities that increase their capacity for getting into and graduating from college. Students participate in grade-level college prep classes, individualized college counseling, college visits, and internships.  We believe that college success requires a holistic focus on the social and emotional development of young people.  

Healthy Minds & Bodies (HMB) 

Small group and individual sessions are designed to develop students’ skills, resilience, and persistence for all of life’s challenges while nurturing their physical and mental well-being. Students and families can access additional assistance and emotional support through the HMB hotline. Families also are engaged in a series of activities that help them as they too take the journey of their students’ transition to, through, and beyond college.
