Freshman Prep
Learn the skills needed to excel at
George Wythe College

George Wythe College’s Freshman Prep seminar prepares students for the George Wythe College experience! GWC is offering an exciting new opportunity for all incoming freshman and anyone wishing to increase their scholar skills. This class is open to anyone 15 and up who is ready for an intensive scholar experience. This class is designed to help prepare students to excel in their freshman year at GWC laying the foundations for diplomacy as well as serious study. If your student’s scholar schedule is not yet what it should be to be successful at GWC or if he just needs more intensive skills training, this course is for him!

This will be a full-time scholar experience; students should be prepared to study more than 40 hours per week. We will be studying 4 different views of thought: utopianism, despotism, a fortiori and the language of art. Skills covered during the seminar include: how to study, keep a study journal, increase attention span, reading comprehension, research, writing at a college level, presentation preparation, identify principles, how to teach, annotating skills, colloquium, simulations, define terms, dialog with author, sequential reasoning, vision and oral testing.
