College Years & Beyond
Maren Prep classes provide academic instruction to teens with Down syndrome who have graduated from high school. Maren Prep allows us to continue to support academic, language and social skill learning for this specific age group with specific classes. We are excited to be "Always Learning" and to be expanding in this direction - helping teens, and parents, prepare for adult life.
Our College Life program is designed to support high school graduates so they can continue to build academic skills and independence through individual assignments and accountability. This class requires homework completion and asks for focused participation every week. College Life meets two times/week on the Missouri Baptist University campus. We’re very excited about this class and the opportunities ahead this fall for these students. The current direction of the curriculum will be focused on math, reading/comprehension and social skills/current events - however, please note that details continue to be “ironed out” and we don’t yet have all information in place yet. Since we don’t yet have the details identified, we are not accepting registration at this time however, please e-mail julie@marenfund.org to express interest and we will forward information when available.
Cost: $1500 /semester (15 weeks) Class Time: TBD (Tentatively Tues/Thurs 9:30 - 3:00)
Cost includes large and small group meetings. Price includes materials, access to a Chromebook if needed and individual support as needed.
Scholarships are available. Thank-you for trusting us with your young adult this fall and for trusting that the details will be worked out shortly, please contact Julie Williams for further information as needed.
