enter college with confidence


Your family has invested so much in the process to prepare for success in school and to begin thinking about college. It takes hard work, and determination (sound familiar?)! Your relationship with Breakthrough Cincinnati doesn’t need to end following the ninth grade summer.

We are here to help you navigate the high school years and prepare for college through a special learning community of students and families working together, and supporting each other. This model is a bit different than the summer program experience you are used to, but allows us to tap the wisdom of our own community and the resources available through local partners.



Are you interested in additional programming and coaching to help support completing college-bound milestones during high school? In what ways can you and your family be academically, socially and financially prepared for college?

Programming is available to BTC students in grades 9-12.

Reach out to sign up to be a part of this learning community.


Here we’ve compiled some resources here to help your family continue to set goals and plan for the transition from high school to college.
