Project Ready

The Project Ready - Dallas College Preparation project is a unique and comprehensive approach to addressing the academic, personal and social needs of youth in the Dallas community. The program is based on the belief that a student's personal and social maturity for college holds equal importance to their academic skill building. Over a twoyear period, the Project Ready - Dallas curriculum integrates academic preparation for college along with life skills development, personal, global and cultural awareness.
