(2019·武汉市五月调研卷)The Harvard PreCollege Program is a nice experience for high school students. Alongside peers(同辈) from around the world, you'll be introduced to college life as you attend classes,live on campus, and enjoy fun outings and activities.
◆Learning without limits
Biology, physics, law, writing and philosophy—these are just a few of the 30plus courses you can choose from in each session. In our noncredit classes, we set aside grades so that you can fully commit to your growth as a wellrounded student. Class sizes typically range from 14 to 18 students to encourage interactive learning.
◆Living at Harvard
When you attend the PreCollege Program, you'll live in a historic undergraduate house, near Harvard Square. You will be with your fellow PreCollege students, resident directors, and proctors who provide support. You'll also enjoy meals in one of Harvard's dining halls, which are a short walk from Harvard Yard and provide many options for a variety of dietary needs.
◆Thriving outside the classroom
The summer PreCollege Program offers many mentally challenging cocurricular(补充课程的) activities beyond the classroom. With faculty and Harvardaffiliated experts, you will have the opportunity to participate in workshops on topics like the psychology of colorblindness, classic literature from around the world and science of happiness. From our Cambridge scavenger hunt to a trip to the Sand Sculpting Festival at America's first public beach, there's no shortage of run activities in the PreCollege Program.
