College Now Student Testimonials

At Discovery, I have had multiple programs and resources to prepare me for college. Teachers have provided me with programs like College Now and Summer Search, which have helped build my understanding of college work and extracurriculars that will improve my record. 

At Discovery, my teachers not only motivated me to do well in high school but provided me with resources that prepared me to do well in the future at college as well.

Discovery has provided invaluable college-level opportunities that have shaped my academic journey. Staff at Discovery will always push me towards my goals, with my college advisor playing a crucial role throughout my whole college process and pushing me towards my major, Forensic science. Beyond that, Discovery gave me the chance to take a chemistry class in high school. Had I not taken this class I wouldn't be going into college with my intended major. While at Discovery I was also given the chance to earn college credits through Lehman college’s college now program. All of which have prepared me for success in college and beyond. 

At Discovery, teachers don't just encourage students to take random College Now classes, they create a path that aligns with your college and career goals!”

Discovery provides various college-level opportunities, such as advanced placement courses and college now. My teachers are open to answering any college questions, and provide resources that help prepare students for college in the future. I feel like I have the support at Discovery to help me continue with my education and the guidance from my teacher. 

Whenever I have questions about college, I know I can confide in my teachers to not only answer questions but also provide me with opportunities that can help me in college in the future. 

As an AP student, the college-level challenges presented to me initially seemed daunting at first. These opportunities have driven me to work harder and familiarize myself with the demands of college-level work. Discovery High School, with its dedicated teachers and staff, has consistently taught me since freshman year, allowing me to navigate these challenges successfully. The opportunities at Discovery have not only prepared me for college life but have also strengthened my confidence in my future academic pursuits. 

Discovery High School has presented me with numerous opportunities to proper my academic life. My college journey began at Discovery.

For the most part, these college-level opportunities that the school has provided me with are truly beneficial and fun, as they allow me to work outside of my comfort zone in an environment that tends to challenge students to be the best version of themselves. 

 During my College Now classes, I am not only taught to be a diligent student but also one who isn't easily discouraged or shaken by the difficulties found within college-level classes. Pursuing these opportunities has allowed me to build myself up as an individual who welcomes the presence of a challenge rather than being an individual who runs away from it.

Discovery High School has a partnership with Lehman College, which offers pre-college academics for students from Discovery, primarily assisting juniors and seniors in preparing for college while providing insight into the college experience. Additionally, Discovery has a college counselor for seniors, who offers college-based guidance, aids in decision-making regarding college selections, assists students in applying for scholarships, and helps with internships like co-op tech. Discovery also provides resources to support career and technical education programs, assisting students to get ready for both college and their future careers. 

Discovery has initiatives that provide opportunities for students to enhance their skills and prepare for future academic and professional endeavors. Discovery's collaboration with Lehman College gave me the chance to engage in College Now, which is helping me academically and preparing me for college life, even though I'm a high schooler. College Now is broadening my knowledge and strengthening my confidence academically. Having the experience of college before actually attending one prepares me for college life and future endeavors.
