Jean Kane du Pont Youth
Making the Promise of Higher Education A Reality
Indvidual and Small-group Instruction for Grades Nine, Ten and Eleven
Our initiative not only aims to increase the representation of Native American students in AP courses but also seeks to improve their overall success rates. By providing access to rigorous coursework tailored to their needs, DuPont Youth is fostering an environment where all students, regardless of background, have equal opportunities to excel academically. In addition, we provide Credit Recovery as prescribed by individual high schools.
DuPont uses Adobe Connect software to provide the live remote immersive classrooms ideally suited to the teaching strategies inherent in the Pre-AP program. Here Ms. Jenkins has prepared her classroom for Pre-AP Chemistry and is awaiting her students who will appear individually in the classroom able to participate by voice or text with her or other students.
Below is the current list of courses in Du Pont's Pre-AP program. Course descriptions such as the one here for Pre-AP English 1 are provided by the College Board. Contact du Pont Youth for more information.
