GEAR UP

isn’t just preparing students for a life in college. It’s preparing students to make an impact in their communities.
The program, designed to create a pre-college culture in middle schools and high schools throughout the San Diego North County area, works with students seeking to graduate from high school in 2021 and 2022 – with a few aims in mind: to help ensure that more students are prepared for and enrolled in the college of their choice and are ready for any post-secondary education or a career.
With a plethora of workshops for students and parents, in-school and after-school tutor and mentorship opportunities, summer programs and college field trips for kids looking to get a head start on their college ambitions, the GEAR UP program is here for you.
