Destination College Academy
The mission of Roseland University Prep is to offer students a college going culture in a small learning community. All Roseland University Prep students are supported in graduating from high school and completing the college A-G requirements. The after school program, Destination College Academy, is a vital intervention support program for the regular school day, which improves at-risk and high-risk students chances of academic success and provides a balanced curriculum of job preparation, art, physical activity, psychosocial groups, and supplemental academic supports. The after school activities are designed to strengthen their capabilities of goal-setting, planning, self-reflection, positive decision-making, school connectedness, and social competence.
