Build High Performance skills for college and career in a flexible, part-time 8-week session (fully remote)!
A self-paced, online course powered by the world's most-advanced personalized learning, CSM builds High Performance skills:
CSM is well-suited for individuals with math-anxiety (it has no algebra!), and it adapts to participants of all academic abilities.
The Career Strategies mini-course teaches how to make career decisions, so that you have an internal career coach in your head at all times. Learn about topics like:
The See More Opportunity Summer Program is sponsored by the Cielo Foundation.
The Cielo Foundation provides scholarships up to $10,000 to students who pursue postsecondary education at either trade schools or at community colleges in a career program.
See More Opportunity Summer Program participants will have an opportunity to speak with the Cielo Scholarship administrators and get you on an inside track for these scholarships.
If you know anyone else who is in high school or college, considering college, working towards their GED, or would like to jump start their career with new skills, invite them to join you. Bring your teenager along! Invite your siblings! Reach out to your aunts and uncles! Call your neighbor!
Families and friends can work together and support each other in giving themselves an educational or career boost. Family members can take CSM and Career Strategies, work with a Personal Coach, earn college credit, and participate in the college and career programming. Note: they will only be eligible for free admission, the completion bonus and inside track to a scholarship if they meet the income and education requirements.
All participants should be able to have a conversation in English.
Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland found that students who took CSM before starting college were almost 4 times as likely to graduate!
CSM is accepted as transfer credit at colleges with nearly 1 million students. This can save hundreds or more dollars of college tuition.

CSM is not just designed for students -- major businesses use CSM to develop High Performance skills. The same CSM Course that you'll take is taken by corporate managers with advanced degrees, allowing them to work confidently at their best.
CSM is valued by students and professionals because while different people need different skills, CSM's High Performance is universal.
When you complete CSM, you will receive a Credly digital badge of High Performance that you can share on social media and add to your digital resume.
* Work on the CSM Course + Career Strategies for 50 hours. The CSM Course adapts to your knowledge, so it might take you 15-70 hours or more. If you finish early, you'll work on CSM+ Courses building advanced problem-solving skills. If you don't finish this summer, that's OK - the account is yours forever.
* Attend two college and career events. We are still planning the summer, and we expect to have about 6-10 events, each 1 hour. You will be required to attend any 2 to receive the full completion bonus, and are welcome to attend all of them!
* You must meet our funder's income requirements to earn the completion bonus.
CSM is available online 24/7.
Your coach will be checking your progress frequently and you can also reach out whenever you need extra support.
