Boylan offers two days of courses for incoming freshmen; the freshman study skills classes and the freshmen preparatory class. These courses provide our incoming freshmen with a chance to feel acclimated to life at Boylan and confident to begin school in the fall.

Boylan is offering a mini course series to help freshmen become more confident in their study skills, note taking and writing abilities. These courses cover areas that may need some further development before high school. This is an excellent opportunity for students to get familiar with techniques used in classrooms in high school. These mini courses are offered one day at consecutive times.
