Transition Programs

Starting high school means learning the layout of a new building, getting to know new teachers, tougher academic requirements, more responsibilities, and exposure to greater social opportunities and risks. It is no wonder that students and parents feel a mix of emotions about the transition to high school. The journey begins today as we begin to consider what the BPP High School has to offer. Over the course of the student’s 8th Grade, we will embark on course scheduling and there will be opportunities for students and parents to see the high school first hand! At any point, please feel free to call with questions or schedule an appointment to discuss concerns in person.
