Clackamas Middle College is fortunate to have a program designed to help students obtain college readiness skills. Students who enter CMC, and don't have all of the college readiness skills necessary to succeed at the college level, will be place into CMC's College Prep Program. This program is designed to give students support and skills in order to succeed at the college level. CMC has five highly qualified teachers in each content area and one academic/learning specialist. The classes that are offered in the CMC's College Prep Program are generally the core classes of Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Sciences. There are also classes which fulfill graduation requirements such as Youth Take Action and Senior Internship. For a list of classes offered in CMC's College Prep Program, click on the following course guide: CMC Curriculum Guide
In order to give students an opportunity to earn college credits and see what the expectations of college are, CMC offers many options to students in the College Prep Program:
- Visiting college instructors teach college classes on-site where students will earn dual high school and college credit
- Teachers at CMC are articulated to teach classes for both high school and college credit
- "Adventures in" courses give students an opportunity to earn both high school and college credit
The Adventures in courses were created in the spring of 2008 to give students in CMC's College Prep Program an opportunity to experience many "hands-on" classes wrapped in one college course. Adventures in classes CMC will continue to offer will be: Adventures in Technology, Adventures in Wilderness Survival, and Adventures in Graphic Arts. Look for more of these classes to be offered and created in the future. To see a sample Adventures in class offered in the past, click on the following link: Adventures in Technology
