↘ What to look for
For pre-college, the meaningful signal is whether the program is residential, who the actual instructors are (university faculty vs. grad students vs. summer hires), and what college-level material is genuinely covered. For job-track, ask the hourly rate, the hours-per-week guarantee, and whether the role qualifies for community-service hours.
