ARCH students are welcomed with an array of support to help guide them step-by-step through the post-secondary preparation process beginning their freshman year. Support that students receive includes one-on-one assistance with class selection and scheduling, the first choice of classes, first access to ACT prep classes, AP classes, access to outside programs partnered with Chavez, one-on-one help with financial aid, and ongoing opportunities to meet with college admission counselors. Most importantly, ARCH students are expected to attend regularly scheduled seminars that cover everything you need to know about the college application process: how to write personal statements and a college resume, how to look for and apply for scholarships, how to find the university that best fits the student, and how to best prepare for interviews. Students are also sent opportunities via Microsoft Teams information on colleges/universities, scholarship opportunities and community service opportunities.
