School-year Programs Print E-mail

We know that you are super-busy, but we also know that you like it that way! These programs take place during the school year. Some are long-term and run from September through June, some are short term and last only a couple of months, and others are one-time events. It's true that they all look great on your college application, but more importantly, they will enrich your life.
