A high school planning program is a resource offered by many schools to help students prepare for their high school careers and beyond. It's not a single program, but rather a combination of tools and guidance that can take various forms depending on the school district. Here's a breakdown of what it might typically involve:
Research Governor's School Programs: Start by researching the various Governor's School programs available in your state. Each program may have different focuses such as STEM, arts, humanities, or leadership. Understand the eligibility criteria, application process, and deadlines for each program.

RLC's High School Planning program is a comprehensive advisory service that helps students chart a successful path through high school and beyond. We guide families through Governor's School opportunities, competitive academic programs, standardized test preparation, and college application materials — including essay coaching and application strategy.
Governor's School programs are state-funded, highly selective academic programs for exceptional high school students in areas like STEM, arts, and humanities. Examples include NCSSM (North Carolina), SCGSSM (South Carolina), TAMS (Texas), GSNJS (New Jersey), and the Georgia Governor's Honors Program — among the most prestigious academic opportunities available to high schoolers.
Ideally, students should begin preparing in 8th or 9th grade. They need time to build a strong GPA, take rigorous courses, earn competitive SAT/ACT scores, develop leadership experiences, and craft compelling application essays. RLC advisors can help create a multi-year preparation roadmap tailored to your child's goals.
We provide targeted academic support through our tutoring programs in Math, ELA, and Science to help students meet the academic standards these programs require. We also offer SAT and ACT prep, essay correction services, and information sessions specifically for NCSSM applicants — covering eligibility, timelines, and application strategy.
