The University of Maryland and Northwood High School have established a collaborative learning community of students, faculty, and staff that helps prepare high school and college students for success as they pursue college degrees, meaningful employment, and leadership roles in the community.

Goals of the UM-Northwood Collaboration

ACCESS: To increase access to higher education for Northwood High School students, especially for first-generation college students and historically underrepresented populations.

ARTICULATION: To improve curricular connections between high school and college.

COMMUNITY SERVICE-LEARNING: To provide rich opportunities for both Northwood High School and University of Maryland students to participate in service-learning and internships.
This initiative is part of a national trend placing high school students in real college courses on real college campuses.
