Program Overview

Program Description:

The Cambridge Scholars' Programme will enrich you in two ways.

Firstly there is a broad range of flexible courses. You pick one of multiple options for the class at 9 am, 11 am and 1:30 pm. Courses range from the arts to the sciences, with fascinating subjects like Biomedical Ethics, Law, Debate, Cosmology, Criminal & Forensic Psychology, Scriptwriting and much more (please visit the website for the full list and descriptions).

These are taught by our fantastic faculty, nearly all of whom associated to the University of Cambridge in some way. Nearly all have decades of teaching experience - unlike some other summer programs that hire cheap, young PhD students.

Secondly, we have a broad range of trips to explore the history and culture of Britain and optionally France with our trip to Paris. Students go inside the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, see The Phantom of the Opera at the West End theatre and much more!

The Cambridge Scholars' Programme is an unrivaled combination of education and travel. It was founded by graduates of the University of Cambridge to allow ambitious high school students to get a taste of a Cambridge education, combined with trips to explore Britain and optionally Paris.

You will gain a huge amount from this once-in-a-lifetime experience. You will:
- live and study in one of the colleges of the University of Cambridge
- make lots of new friends from across the US and world
- meet students or recent graduates from primarily the University of Cambridge, but also a few from Harvard University
- develop your confidence, broaden your horizons and gain independence
- prepare for college life and have a unique experience for your college applications

Here is what one former student said:
"Many thanks for a memorable experience at Cambridge! They were definitely three of the best weeks of my life. The experiences I had as a member of the programme were uniformly fantastic. The courses were great. The organized activities were fun. And the trips were enriching." - Eric, Phillips Academy
