At AST, we offer a comprehensive program that guides students, starting from their freshman year, to plan out their high school academics and extracurricular life, and provide insights and sneak-peaks into what life in college will be like. Transition into college is an exciting and important milestone for our students, families, and our staff. We understand the importance of making informed decisions and how the role of social-emotional learning impacts college admission choices.
