Get Ready for High School

We are aware of the inequalities in our education system that is why we advocate for our students in Oxnard but we also are addressing the root cause of inequalities in the community. Oftentimes students don't have that extra support. Therefore the creation of Oxnard Student Success is necessary to allow students to thrive by accessing all the resources necessary to become successful.

Through our academic mentorship program, students will have personalized time with a current College/University student to go through the whole application process including financial aid applications (FASFA/Dream Act). In addition, we will be offering weekly virtual services that consist of Tutoring, Writing: The College Essay and scholarship, and Application Assistance to students throughout the academic year.

In the world of education, there are never enough resources! We are not trying to take away from long-established education programs here in Oxnard but rather we are here to supplement the push for students to enter higher education.

Upward Bound provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. Upward Bound serves: high school students from low-income families; and high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree.

During the school year, Upward Bound students will enroll in college preparatory classes and will be supported by an advisor to prepare them for academic success. Students will attend academic advising sessions and participate in academic support services. We will offer tutoring for mathematics, laboratory science, foreign language, composition and literature, as well as study skills. Students will also attend seminars regarding post-secondary educational opportunities. By the time the student reaches 11th grade, they will participate in a dual enrollment program that will allow them to accumulate college credits while in high school, free of cost.
