Engaging All

The OnToCollege program is available for grades 9-12 and engages ALL students, not just those who are gifted and motivated. The content is high quality, focused on two messages:

  • Motivating students to prepare and do their very best on the ACT with a “Why to Try”
  • Math, reading and science content and tips students need to do their very best on ACT

Program Implementation

Districts which implement the program select a coordinator who receives training based on plans for using the program videos. OnToCollege when run optimally is a 12-week program. To run the full 12-week schedule, sessions are held one day a week. Teachers facilitate rather than create and teach sessions. The content should be shown during class sessions, and students can view the videos at home as well.

The ACT is a curriculum- and standards-based educational and career planning tool that assesses students’ academic readiness for college. It has wide applicability for all students considering a four-year college. The ACT is a tough, timed test. It is unlike the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA).
