Academic Institute Of Central Carolina Inc

Educational Opportunity Center

Upward Bound NorthEast strives to provide academic challenges and emotional and social support in order to raise participants' self-concept, enhance their self-development and achieve their full potential. Starting at enrollment, students are encouraged to remain in the program and to achieve success in their academic and personal development throughout their high school careers into college. Students remain in the program from the time of their acceptance starting from 9th grade until their high school graduation. When they leave the program and enroll into college, the staff still continues to track them, and provide coordinating services with other colleges on their behalf.
