College Bootcamp Helps Prepare High School Grads

Quantum U, an 8-day Summer Program For Incoming College Freshman, Helps
Students Make The Transition From High School With New Learning And
Life Skills



Joe Chapon, Vice President of Quantum Learning Network, announced
that the company will hold an eight-day college boot camp in July at
Colorado College in Colorado Springs for students entering college in
the fall of 2008.



The program, entitled Quantum U, will accept 80 graduating high
school seniors from around the country. It focuses on practical life
and learning skills that students require to succeed in college,
including techniques to manage their time, energy, and finances, as
well as extensive training in college-level communication,
presentation, writing, and reading skills.



According to Kevin Davis, a Quantum U facilitator, the program is
unique because, “Quantum U helps students transition from the attitude
and skills of a youth to the attitude and skills of an adult. They
learn to go from the mindset of ‘things happen to me’ to ‘I make things
happen for me’.”



Quantum U is an outgrowth of SuperCamp, a learning and life skills
summer camp for middle school and high school students that launched in
1982 and has graduated over 48,000 students worldwide. An important
aspect of both SuperCamp and Quantum U is that students learn how to
learn, meaning they discover their own learning style and they are
taught several practical learning techniques in the areas of
note-taking, studying and memorization.



In making his announcement, Mr. Chapon indicated that Quantum U is
a smart investment for parents. “College is not just an extension of
high school. Instead it represents a new paradigm in school, learning
and autonomy,” said Mr. Chapon. “And given the cost of a college
education, sending a son or daughter to Quantum U for eight days to
give them a head start on college is a very wise decision.”



Students attending Quantum U live on campus for the eight days. The
program cost is $2,095 inclusive of tuition, room and board. More
