Imagine your students completing high school with a diploma and up to 27 transferable college credits, or multiple industry certifications to jump-start your college and career goals! This is what SDP’s Senior Year Only Programs (SYOP) are all about and the application is NOW OPEN until April 4th!
The Senior Year Only Program seeks to prepare high school seniors for both college and career by connecting classroom learning with real-world applications in the workplace.
Students enrolled in SYOP either take classes on a college campus or spend time at the Fox Chase Farm (where they'd earn industry certifications in urban agriculture).
The Senior Year Only Program is a full school year commitment.
Breakfast and lunch are provided.
All students will receive a SEPTA fare card for travel to and from the program. Additional information about transportation will be communicated to families after enrollment is confirmed.
See the flyer attached for more information!
Join us for an overview of the programs as well as office hours for assistance with completing your application(s).

Land Health is now recruiting high school students for our ProFESS Program this summer! STUDENTS CAN APPLY THROUGH THIS LINK. Applications are due March 30th and must include a letter of recommendation.
Our Program for Future Environmental Scientists and Stewards (ProFESS) is a free, 8-week summer program that seeks to empower high school students (8th-12th) to become future environmental scientists and stewards through hands-on, immersive environmental education.
This year, students can earn up to $400 for program participation, depending upon their overall attendance and participation. Our program is scheduled to begin June 23rd and to end August 15th. ProFESSers should anticipate committing up to 8 hrs/week (2-3 days) to ProFESS, including occasional Saturdays. We would love the opportunity to mentor your students about the natural world and to inspire them to do more good in preserving our Philly green spaces!
Please share this email with students in 8th-12th grade to notify them of this exciting opportunity!
Attached is a poster. Help to get the word out through your newsletter or post it to a public bulletin board where summer learning opportunities are listed.
