1.       Freshmen---> They have not been exposed  to high school culture and expectations.  If freshmen are already exposed to skills helpful in high school in their first year, they will be prepared for upcoming years. 

2.       Parents of freshmen---> Parents of incoming freshmen should also be informed on skills and ways to cope with a challenging environment such as high school.  This way, they help their child if they are ever in distress.

3.       High school students---> Upperclassmen (10, 11, 12th graders) can also benefit this course.  It can be open to any students older than freshmen that need skills in order to deal with heavy coursework or making friends.

Freshmen would benefit most from this program because they will gain skills to handle high school right from the beginning.  They will be able to have someone guide them through how to handle friend-making, school work, etc. instead of having to figure it out by themselves, the hard way.  Even though it is open to all students, freshmen will get the most out of it because they don't know anything about high school.  Upperclassmen have already adapted to the environment in some ways and coping by themselves by sophomore year.
