Navigators
Our oldest and most popular track, Navigators is open to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors and is the closest high school students can get to an early college experience.
Each day, students take part in an official, accredited Rowan University course and have time each afternoon for personal and academic development including workshops and guidance on career counseling, standardized test preparation, conflict resolution, and leadership training.
Weekends are option. Those who stay have opportunities for field trips too such destinations as Edelman Fossil Museum of Rowan University, Ritz Theater Company, local restaurants, and community events
