Social Studies
At the secondary level, grades 9-12, students expand their understanding of history and the social sciences. Following the geographic and historic perspectives of the elementary and middle grades, the secondary social studies program builds upon the study of North Carolina at grades four and eight, the United States at grade five, and the cultural geographic study of the world in grades five, six, and seven. The secondary level moves to a formal study of world and United States history; links civics and economics in a course intended to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to enter effectively into adult citizenship; and suggests a variety of social studies electives.
While we cannot predict what specific knowledge and behavior will be in demand as we venture in the twenty-first century, through social studies we can concentrate on educating citizens who will be scholarly, exercise leadership, and support democratic ideals. We can prepare our students for a post secondary world, be it continued schooling or the workforce.

COLLEGE ADMISSIONS
Expert college admissions advising is the difference between admitting into a good college and admitting to a great one. While good grades and test scores are essential to get into any top college, there are many other components that make up an outstanding college application. Elite Prep’s certified counselors work in person with students to create a college application that distinguishes themselves from the rest. Some areas of interest that we cover include:
Selecting courses that will reflect intellectual challenge
Identifying the right extracurricular activities to showcase passions and talent
Volunteer opportunities to demonstrate civic engagement
Taking part in summer programs for intellectual and personal growth
Writing the perfect college application essay
Developing expert interview skills
Eliter Preparatory Academy’s Approach to College Admissions
As with everything Elite Prep does, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach. A personalized high school plan is just the beginning – Elite Preparatory Academy provides students with the test prep and support they need until they click “Submit” on their college applications to help ensure they stay on track to earn admission to their dream college.
Do I Need College Admissions Advising?
The truth is that most high schools simply are not equipped to provide the detailed guidance needed to increase a student’s chances for admission at top colleges and universities. On average, each public school counselor is responsible for almost 500 students, so many families believe the limited college counseling they receive is acceptable. Contact us and learn how Elite Preparatory Academy can do so much more to help your child on the path to their dream college.
YEAR 9-12 PLANNING
Starting in Year 10, each parent and student is provided with a comprehensive bilingual University and Careers Counselling Resource Guide which includes detailed information on all aspects of our program.
In Year 9, students should have a structured academic schedule which allows them to settle into their new routine. The first year in the Senior Secondary School is an opportunity for a fresh start: a time to try new activities and to dive deeper into what really interests students. The University and Careers Counseling Department is here to assist students settling in and to begin considering about the future. University and Careers Counsellors will meet with Year 9 students to discuss their four-year plan as well as stress the importance of their academic records to set goals for themselves. The department will also assist in developing enrichment plans for the summer.
In Year 10, students will begin to create their own individual schedules and make major plans for the future. By the end of the year, many students will consider about which IB Diploma courses are most suited for them. This is also the year in which students utilize the information they have learned about themselves and start to think about how to use their strengths to their advantage.
At this stage, students and their parents will be introduced to Cialfo, and will begin exploring the various tools that the platform has to offer. These include interest inventory tests designed to help students learn more about themselves as well as the most comprehensive up-to-date list of colleges and universities around the world.
In the spring of Year 10, students would have the ability to write mock SAT and ACT tests in order to determine which system is most suitable for them along with the help of the university counsellor to work on individual testing plans. There will also be an opportunity for students to complete the Morrisby Career Inventory and attend a feedback meeting with a company representative to discuss results and possible career paths.
Parents are invited to attend the parent meetings, workshops and monthly 'Coffee with Counsellor' sessions to hear feedback from the University and Careers Counselling staff; parents will also learn about the university counselling timeline and are welcomed to ask questions.
Year 11 is when the University and Careers Counselling program start to play a more significant role. Students should start to hit their stride academically as they progress into more rigorous IB coursework. During this period, it is time for students to start thinking seriously about their future options along with the support of University and Careers Counselling staff. Understanding and setting realistic expectations are critical in choosing potential future colleges for higher education. For many students, attending a college or university is the very first time they will be in charge of their own education, choosing their area of expertise, and determining where in the world they want to pursue their studies.
The challenge for students is how to navigate through all of the information and identify which colleges or universities are the best suited for them. With continuous support of the University and Careers Counselling Office, by the end of the year, each student will have a list of potential colleges and universities to consider for applying.
Throughout Year 11, University and Careers Counsellors will hold regular workshops with the focus of helping students prepare for college applications in Year 12. Workshops will cover topics such as US vs. UK universities, a Liberal Arts education, personal statements, supplemental essays, admissions deadlines, and many other such topics. Elite Preparatory Academy’s goal is to build a strong understanding of this important process in Year 11 so students returning to school in Year 12 are ready to start their applications right away.
To help guide students, University and Careers Counsellors will begin by meeting with students individually, following with a family meeting to get an understanding of their personal and individual goals in terms of countries of interest and majors they may wish to pursue. They will develop testing plans and begin exploring ideas for their personal statement. University and Careers Counsellors have an 'open door' policy to answer questions and provide guidance, so students are welcome to meet with their University and Careers Counsellors on a drop-in basis, outside of these scheduled meetings.
Year 12 is when all the skills students have gained over the years will help them in the application process. Together, each student, along with their parents and the University and Careers Counsellors, will create a plan to apply to universities or explore other opportunities. While this is primarily a student-driven process, they will be given plenty of guidance and assistance.
Throughout the year, students will need to balance their academic responsibilities together with the college application process, so planning and time management are important skills to master. The academic foundation students have built at Pao School will prepare them for the next stage of their educational career.
In Year 12, students will attend individual meetings with a University and Careers Counsellors for an opportunity to ask questions about their individual application process, obtain feedback on essays, and review application forms and deadlines. Students are also welcome to meet with University and Careers Counsellors on a drop-in basis.

COLLEGE ADMISSIONS
Expert college admissions advising is the difference between admitting into a good college and admitting to a great one. While good grades and test scores are essential to get into any top college, there are many other components that make up an outstanding college application. Elite Prep’s certified counselors work in person with students to create a college application that distinguishes themselves from the rest. Some areas of interest that we cover include:
Selecting courses that will reflect intellectual challenge
Identifying the right extracurricular activities to showcase passions and talent
Volunteer opportunities to demonstrate civic engagement
Taking part in summer programs for intellectual and personal growth
Writing the perfect college application essay
Developing expert interview skills
Eliter Preparatory Academy’s Approach to College Admissions
As with everything Elite Prep does, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach. A personalized high school plan is just the beginning – Elite Preparatory Academy provides students with the test prep and support they need until they click “Submit” on their college applications to help ensure they stay on track to earn admission to their dream college.
Do I Need College Admissions Advising?
The truth is that most high schools simply are not equipped to provide the detailed guidance needed to increase a student’s chances for admission at top colleges and universities. On average, each public school counselor is responsible for almost 500 students, so many families believe the limited college counseling they receive is acceptable. Contact us and learn how Elite Preparatory Academy can do so much more to help your child on the path to their dream college.
YEAR 9-12 PLANNING
Starting in Year 10, each parent and student is provided with a comprehensive bilingual University and Careers Counselling Resource Guide which includes detailed information on all aspects of our program.
In Year 9, students should have a structured academic schedule which allows them to settle into their new routine. The first year in the Senior Secondary School is an opportunity for a fresh start: a time to try new activities and to dive deeper into what really interests students. The University and Careers Counseling Department is here to assist students settling in and to begin considering about the future. University and Careers Counsellors will meet with Year 9 students to discuss their four-year plan as well as stress the importance of their academic records to set goals for themselves. The department will also assist in developing enrichment plans for the summer.
In Year 10, students will begin to create their own individual schedules and make major plans for the future. By the end of the year, many students will consider about which IB Diploma courses are most suited for them. This is also the year in which students utilize the information they have learned about themselves and start to think about how to use their strengths to their advantage.
At this stage, students and their parents will be introduced to Cialfo, and will begin exploring the various tools that the platform has to offer. These include interest inventory tests designed to help students learn more about themselves as well as the most comprehensive up-to-date list of colleges and universities around the world.
In the spring of Year 10, students would have the ability to write mock SAT and ACT tests in order to determine which system is most suitable for them along with the help of the university counsellor to work on individual testing plans. There will also be an opportunity for students to complete the Morrisby Career Inventory and attend a feedback meeting with a company representative to discuss results and possible career paths.
Parents are invited to attend the parent meetings, workshops and monthly 'Coffee with Counsellor' sessions to hear feedback from the University and Careers Counselling staff; parents will also learn about the university counselling timeline and are welcomed to ask questions.
Year 11 is when the University and Careers Counselling program start to play a more significant role. Students should start to hit their stride academically as they progress into more rigorous IB coursework. During this period, it is time for students to start thinking seriously about their future options along with the support of University and Careers Counselling staff. Understanding and setting realistic expectations are critical in choosing potential future colleges for higher education. For many students, attending a college or university is the very first time they will be in charge of their own education, choosing their area of expertise, and determining where in the world they want to pursue their studies.
The challenge for students is how to navigate through all of the information and identify which colleges or universities are the best suited for them. With continuous support of the University and Careers Counselling Office, by the end of the year, each student will have a list of potential colleges and universities to consider for applying.
Throughout Year 11, University and Careers Counsellors will hold regular workshops with the focus of helping students prepare for college applications in Year 12. Workshops will cover topics such as US vs. UK universities, a Liberal Arts education, personal statements, supplemental essays, admissions deadlines, and many other such topics. Elite Preparatory Academy’s goal is to build a strong understanding of this important process in Year 11 so students returning to school in Year 12 are ready to start their applications right away.
To help guide students, University and Careers Counsellors will begin by meeting with students individually, following with a family meeting to get an understanding of their personal and individual goals in terms of countries of interest and majors they may wish to pursue. They will develop testing plans and begin exploring ideas for their personal statement. University and Careers Counsellors have an 'open door' policy to answer questions and provide guidance, so students are welcome to meet with their University and Careers Counsellors on a drop-in basis, outside of these scheduled meetings.
Year 12 is when all the skills students have gained over the years will help them in the application process. Together, each student, along with their parents and the University and Careers Counsellors, will create a plan to apply to universities or explore other opportunities. While this is primarily a student-driven process, they will be given plenty of guidance and assistance.
Throughout the year, students will need to balance their academic responsibilities together with the college application process, so planning and time management are important skills to master. The academic foundation students have built at Pao School will prepare them for the next stage of their educational career.
In Year 12, students will attend individual meetings with a University and Careers Counsellors for an opportunity to ask questions about their individual application process, obtain feedback on essays, and review application forms and deadlines. Students are also welcome to meet with University and Careers Counsellors on a drop-in basis.

Social Studies
At the secondary level, grades 9-12, students expand their understanding of history and the social sciences. Following the geographic and historic perspectives of the elementary and middle grades, the secondary social studies program builds upon the study of North Carolina at grades four and eight, the United States at grade five, and the cultural geographic study of the world in grades five, six, and seven. The secondary level moves to a formal study of world and United States history; links civics and economics in a course intended to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to enter effectively into adult citizenship; and suggests a variety of social studies electives.
While we cannot predict what specific knowledge and behavior will be in demand as we venture in the twenty-first century, through social studies we can concentrate on educating citizens who will be scholarly, exercise leadership, and support democratic ideals. We can prepare our students for a post secondary world, be it continued schooling or the workforce.

Science
At the secondary level, grades 9-12, students expand their understanding of history and the social sciences. Following the geographic and historic perspectives of the elementary and middle grades, the secondary social studies program builds upon the study of North Carolina at grades four and eight, the United States at grade five, and the cultural geographic study of the world in grades five, six, and seven. The secondary level moves to a formal study of world and United States history; links civics and economics in a course intended to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to enter effectively into adult citizenship; and suggests a variety of social studies electives.
While we cannot predict what specific knowledge and behavior will be in demand as we venture in the twenty-first century, through social studies we can concentrate on educating citizens who will be scholarly, exercise leadership, and support democratic ideals. We can prepare our students for a post secondary world, be it continued schooling or the workforce.

COLLEGE ADMISSIONS
Expert college admissions advising is the difference between admitting into a good college and admitting to a great one. While good grades and test scores are essential to get into any top college, there are many other components that make up an outstanding college application. Elite Prep’s certified counselors work in person with students to create a college application that distinguishes themselves from the rest. Some areas of interest that we cover include:
Selecting courses that will reflect intellectual challenge
Identifying the right extracurricular activities to showcase passions and talent
Volunteer opportunities to demonstrate civic engagement
Taking part in summer programs for intellectual and personal growth
Writing the perfect college application essay
Developing expert interview skills
Eliter Preparatory Academy’s Approach to College Admissions
As with everything Elite Prep does, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach. A personalized high school plan is just the beginning – Elite Preparatory Academy provides students with the test prep and support they need until they click “Submit” on their college applications to help ensure they stay on track to earn admission to their dream college.
Do I Need College Admissions Advising?
The truth is that most high schools simply are not equipped to provide the detailed guidance needed to increase a student’s chances for admission at top colleges and universities. On average, each public school counselor is responsible for almost 500 students, so many families believe the limited college counseling they receive is acceptable. Contact us and learn how Elite Preparatory Academy can do so much more to help your child on the path to their dream college.
YEAR 9-12 PLANNING
Starting in Year 10, each parent and student is provided with a comprehensive bilingual University and Careers Counselling Resource Guide which includes detailed information on all aspects of our program.
In Year 9, students should have a structured academic schedule which allows them to settle into their new routine. The first year in the Senior Secondary School is an opportunity for a fresh start: a time to try new activities and to dive deeper into what really interests students. The University and Careers Counseling Department is here to assist students settling in and to begin considering about the future. University and Careers Counsellors will meet with Year 9 students to discuss their four-year plan as well as stress the importance of their academic records to set goals for themselves. The department will also assist in developing enrichment plans for the summer.
In Year 10, students will begin to create their own individual schedules and make major plans for the future. By the end of the year, many students will consider about which IB Diploma courses are most suited for them. This is also the year in which students utilize the information they have learned about themselves and start to think about how to use their strengths to their advantage.
At this stage, students and their parents will be introduced to Cialfo, and will begin exploring the various tools that the platform has to offer. These include interest inventory tests designed to help students learn more about themselves as well as the most comprehensive up-to-date list of colleges and universities around the world.
In the spring of Year 10, students would have the ability to write mock SAT and ACT tests in order to determine which system is most suitable for them along with the help of the university counsellor to work on individual testing plans. There will also be an opportunity for students to complete the Morrisby Career Inventory and attend a feedback meeting with a company representative to discuss results and possible career paths.
Parents are invited to attend the parent meetings, workshops and monthly 'Coffee with Counsellor' sessions to hear feedback from the University and Careers Counselling staff; parents will also learn about the university counselling timeline and are welcomed to ask questions.
Year 11 is when the University and Careers Counselling program start to play a more significant role. Students should start to hit their stride academically as they progress into more rigorous IB coursework. During this period, it is time for students to start thinking seriously about their future options along with the support of University and Careers Counselling staff. Understanding and setting realistic expectations are critical in choosing potential future colleges for higher education. For many students, attending a college or university is the very first time they will be in charge of their own education, choosing their area of expertise, and determining where in the world they want to pursue their studies.
The challenge for students is how to navigate through all of the information and identify which colleges or universities are the best suited for them. With continuous support of the University and Careers Counselling Office, by the end of the year, each student will have a list of potential colleges and universities to consider for applying.
Throughout Year 11, University and Careers Counsellors will hold regular workshops with the focus of helping students prepare for college applications in Year 12. Workshops will cover topics such as US vs. UK universities, a Liberal Arts education, personal statements, supplemental essays, admissions deadlines, and many other such topics. Elite Preparatory Academy’s goal is to build a strong understanding of this important process in Year 11 so students returning to school in Year 12 are ready to start their applications right away.
To help guide students, University and Careers Counsellors will begin by meeting with students individually, following with a family meeting to get an understanding of their personal and individual goals in terms of countries of interest and majors they may wish to pursue. They will develop testing plans and begin exploring ideas for their personal statement. University and Careers Counsellors have an 'open door' policy to answer questions and provide guidance, so students are welcome to meet with their University and Careers Counsellors on a drop-in basis, outside of these scheduled meetings.
Year 12 is when all the skills students have gained over the years will help them in the application process. Together, each student, along with their parents and the University and Careers Counsellors, will create a plan to apply to universities or explore other opportunities. While this is primarily a student-driven process, they will be given plenty of guidance and assistance.
Throughout the year, students will need to balance their academic responsibilities together with the college application process, so planning and time management are important skills to master. The academic foundation students have built at Pao School will prepare them for the next stage of their educational career.
In Year 12, students will attend individual meetings with a University and Careers Counsellors for an opportunity to ask questions about their individual application process, obtain feedback on essays, and review application forms and deadlines. Students are also welcome to meet with University and Careers Counsellors on a drop-in basis.
