Who are Teen Scholars?

Teen Scholars are students in grades 8-12 who are making and achieving their plans for success in high school. They are engaged in advanced classes, extracurricular and other activities to gain admissions and financing for their select colleges.

Who is our advisor?

Teen Scholar planning meetings are facilitated by Eric Moore, executive director of Educate California, developer of the virtual LifePrep Academy portal to be used to create the plans online. Eric studied industrial psychology at CSULB and produces the LifePrep Academy curriculum used by numerous schools and community agencies to prepare students for life after high school.
