Planning

By Peggy Forgan, M. Ed
Junior year is a
critical time for college
planning. It’s when
high schoolers start to
focus on their future
and make decisions
that really count. And
with most students just
10 months away from
applying to college,
it’s clear that the 11th
grade is crunch time.
Class 101’s Super Junior program helps students
get ahead of the curve before application season even
begins. Here’s everything you need to know about
becoming a Super Junior, and why it’s one of the best
ways to bring your student up to speed.
A Super Junior is an 11th grader who wants to get a
head start on college planning. By completing our fast-
track Super Junior program, students start the planning
process when it matters the most: during the application
preseason. That way, when application season rolls
around on August 1 of their senior year, they are well
ahead of their peers.
Junior year is the most crucial time for students to
take ownership of their grades, sharpen important skills,
and begin the college admissions process. All of this
is time-consuming and overwhelming, from prepping
for standardized tests to finalizing resumes. The Super
Junior program alleviates the stress of college planning
by helping students achieve their goals before senior year.
All Super Juniors will complete a “Super Junior
Checklist” specifically designed to help them put their
best foot forward. Here’s a look at the seven things they
will accomplish in 90 days:
1. Create a top 10 list of colleges and universities
2. Complete three college visits (either virtual or in-person)
3. Take DISC assessment & review report
4. Establish baseline SAT score
5. Document top 10 trends from baseline score
6. Create a resume with all activities listed
7. Have a parent meeting to review all items on your
checklist
All students who complete the program will earn
a Super Junior certificate and will be entered for a
chance to win a new laptop! The Class 101 Super
Junior is underway.

your student to become a Class 101 Super Junior.
