Leaning into Cushing’s strong history of learning support, the Prep Connections Program gives you the tools you need to participate more fully, enthusiastically, and successfully in a college preparatory curriculum.

The English Language Immersion Program is for English Language Learners who are planning to continue their education in the United States.
