Junior High School

The Cornerstones Junior High Program supports the development of college readiness skills; fosters relationships between students and NHCC; provides skill assessments that will help students plan for college; and encourages holistic development for academic and social success. NHCC strives to cultivate student success academically, socially, and personally. Students will have field trips, perform community service activities, and participate in workshops regarding college readiness and career planning. We provide after school tutoring at local schools.

Summer Programs

The Cornerstones Junior Summer Program is a free, three-week program for 6th-10th grade students. Students will learn what college life is like, as they prepare for their futures. Classroom materials, breakfast and lunch, and transportation to and from NHCC from local schools are included. We cover math, science, English, and social studies in our project-based learning curriculum.

The Cornerstones High School program will offer college credit courses for eligible students in June and July.  More information available soon! 

In addition to classroom activities, there will be field trips and visits to other colleges.
