Community College Preparatory Academy PCS

Community College Preparatory Academy PCS aggressively seeks to meet the challenge of providing education and skills development for under-credited adults (ages 18 and older). Our goal is to empower and prepare adult students for postsecondary education success, viable employment, and lifelong learning in the District of Columbia’s knowledge-based economy. In addition to staffing that supports a student-to-counselor ratio of 50 to 1, we have created a Case Management Unit that focuses on identifying and connecting to a broad range of public and private social service supports. We have developed formal partnerships with more than 150 agencies and organizations to assist and encourage students with problem-solving and crisis avoidance. We have also developed and implemented workshops in critical thinking and time management to support our students in developing new habits that foster their progress.
