Welcome
Since 1966, Harvard Summer School has offered high school students an extraordinary chance to sample college. You can take college courses taught by fine instructors, meet students from around the world, and take part in social, recreational, and college-preparatory activities. At Harvard in the summer, you take college classes along with college students, choose your friends from a large and diverse student population, and plan your own time.
In 2007, new or expanded features of the Secondary School Program include the Math, Writing, and Drama Programs; Summer Seminars; a limited number of intensive courses meeting in a four-week format; and college prep activities and workshops.
Be sure to read about these program features and many others, in Academics, Activities and Recreation, and Campus Life.
You will also enjoy perusing the many course descriptions. You may download* the form or complete your application online. Or you may submit the application form found in the back of the printed catalogue.
Be sure to check this website from time to time to obtain up-to-the-minute information about new courses and other program additions.
Please call (617) 495-3192 or e-mail us at ssp@hudce.harvard.edu if you have questions. We look forward to seeing you at Harvard this summer.
William J. Holinger
Director, Secondary School Program
