PREPANET – Academic Progress & Exciting Next Steps
PEACE Punta de Mita shares updates on Prepanet, the university-prep program, highlighting academic progress with average scores of 86.05, new admissions for the next cohort, and upcoming initiatives including an onboarding program launching in May.
At PEACE Punta de Mita, we are pleased to share updates on Prepanet, including academic progress, new admissions, and upcoming initiatives to enhance our students' learning experience.
Rising to the Challenge
Starting a university-prep program is a big step, but our first-generation Prepanet students are embracing it with determination. Their first TEC evaluation revealed their hard work is paying off, with an average score of 86.05. Congratulations to Carmen Paola Maximino who is at the top of the class with an impressive 94.00!
(Note: In Mexico, academic grades are based on a 100-point scale, where 100 is the highest possible score. This may differ from letter grading systems used in the U.S. and Canada.)
Guiding Students Every Step of the Way
Adjusting from "telesecundaria" to a rigorous academic setting takes time, so school hours have been extended to 2:30 p.m., with plans to increase to 3:00 p.m. This will help students adjust to university expectations and better prepare incoming cohorts.
Fridays are dedicated to "Asesorías" (counseling), offering personalized tutoring for students who may need it, one-on-one guidance on university and scholarship opportunities, and academic support tailored to their individual needs.
To help students further strengthen their skills, STEM tutoring and Spanish literacy workshops are provided.
Welcoming a New Generation
Interest in Prepanet continues to grow! Thirty-two young people (some current PEACE students and some new to PEACE) have already applied to join the next cohort beginning August 2025.
To set them up for success, an Onboarding Program is launching on May 12th. This will introduce students to the Tec de Monterrey Canvas platform, provide refresher courses in Math and IT, and expand outreach efforts to Sayulita to open doors for more young learners.
Looking Ahead
While firmly rooted in current efforts, the organization is also looking toward the future. Next steps include finalizing second generation admissions, strengthening STEM tutoring, expanding Student Council leadership roles, enhancing digital learning support, and integrating physical education and art into the curriculum.
"Your support is changing lives—thank you for believing in these students and helping them build a future full of possibilities!"
