The goal of the Upward Bound program is to provide participants with the skills and motivation necessary for access to and success in post-secondary education. Upward Bound students are modest income, first-generation college-bound high school students at Lyndon Institute, who have shown a strong desire to attend college. Upward Bound strives to help students develop confidence and a love of learning.
Upward Bound offers an array of academic, personal enrichment, and college/career services designed to supplement high school education and tailored to address specific student needs, including a residential summer program. The summer program exposes students to life in a residential setting, allows for intensive, rigorous academic work, and creates space for students to learn valuable social and decision-making skills.
