Capital Partners for Education - a great opportunity for 8th grade students

 
Capital Partners for Education is a dynamic, college preparatory program that is dedicated to helping motivated youth overcome the academic and social barriers that may otherwise prevent them from attending the college of their choice. CPE is the only youth organization in the Washington, DC metropolitan area that provides students with a combination of one-on-one mentoring and college and career preparation for all four years of high school.

Since 1993, CPE has helped nearly 400 students realize their academic potential, with 99% of their graduates advancing to college upon completion of the program. For the past six years, 100% of CPE graduates have gone on to college.

In the past, students who applied to CPE would enroll in one of their partner schools. However, CPE has adjusted this strategy and will now bring mentors to students (in other words, SEED students do not have to withdraw from SEED in order to participate in CPE).

If you are interested in having your child participate in the CPE program, please complete the application by April 20, 2012.
