Sophmore Programs
Targeted College Tours
Crossroads requires each scholar to visit at least six colleges or universities prior to high school graduation. Scholars may tour colleges independently or participate in group visits facilitated by our organization, which includes at least three coordinated on a yearly basis.
St. Vincent College Week
Rising sophomores participate in a week-long summer program at St. Vincent College. In addition to exposing scholars to the feel of a college campus, programming during St. Vincent Week introduces scholars to college-level coursework, the challenges of college social life, and the skills necessary to succeed at a post-secondary institution.
Health Career Academy
This program introduces scholars to various careers in the medical and health fields through practical, hands-on experiences and informative discussions with medical professionals.
Camp BioE
Camp BioE submerses scholars in bioengineering and regenerative medicine. The camp is designed to not only expose students to science but also show them that STEM can be engaging and something that they could pursue as a career.
Environment & Technology Week
Crossroads collaborates with local technological and environmental organizations for this intensive week of hands-on programming. Scholars learn about the career applications of technology and the nature and implications of using renewable vs. non-renewable energy.
Regional Job Outlook
In partnership with businesses throughout the greater Pittsburgh area, scholars learn about various regional industries, including law, real estate, media, and nontraditional fields.
High-Ropes Course
