Coronado High School is excited to announce that
your child now has access to two premier College Preparation
programs through EPISD's partnership with The Princeton Review:
SAT and ACT online preparation courses and the Education and
Career Opportunities System (ECOS).
ECOS walks students through the processes
of exploring careers and majors, choosing the right college, and
researching different financial aid solutions. Students can
access their free, personal account from any Internet-ready
computer including those at school, clubs, libraries, Internet
cafes and home.
Through ECOS students can access the free
SAT and ACT online courses that provide tools and strategies to
help students score higher. These courses normally cost about
$500 but are offered to you for free. Princeton Review Online
courses offer the same content as classroom courses but allow
for the flexibility of learning anywhere, anytime, and at your
own pace! As students progress through the self-paced online
course, some consider college as a reality for the first time,
while others recognize more college options than they otherwise
would have.
This is an extremely valuable tool for all
students. Parents, we encourage you to help your child take
advantage of this free service. Every student has received a
login ID and password and can access ECOS and the online courses
by going to:
http://ecos.princetonreview.com
For more information and
instructions on how to get your child signed up, please contact
your child's counselor.
