SEI Supports the New Jefferson Middle College

From Self Enhancement Inc:

Over the years, the struggles of Jefferson High School have been a major concern for the local community – but finally a solution has been reached. Beginning in Fall 2011, students entering Jefferson High School as freshmen, will be automatically enrolled in the new Middle College program, and will also become a part of the SEI family. Students will attend both Jefferson and Portland Community College (PCC) to earn dual credits essentially starting college for free. And through their partnership with SEI, Jefferson students will also have an abundance of opportunities, including: tutorial homework support, after school programs, and a one-on-one relationship with a school coordinator. Help SEI expand our services to all Jefferson students.
