SEE College Prep

Mission

Our mission is to broaden the educational opportunities and college options for low income students who are the first in their family to go to college. We provide affordable access to high-quality college admissions test preparation programs.

Programs

We provide three 5-week summer academic programs for disadvantaged high school sophomores and juniors. These programs include 25 hours of SAT-specific instruction from our well qualified teachers that come from Stanford, Dartmouth, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and USC. We also provide diagnostic testing; students also have the opportunity to drop in for one-on-one instruction each week. Our current programs support Stanford Upward Bound, UCI Upward Bound, and Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula.
