We invite students to learn more about Brown Pre-College. Now in its 40th year, Brown Pre-College provides academically motivated 9th through 12th grade students the chance to immerse themselves in the challenges and opportunities of the college experience.
Academics
Students can choose to study at our historic campus, located in the heart of Providence, Rhode Island, online or at locations across the United States and around the globe. Wherever they choose to study, Brown Pre-College students explore a variety of academic interests and fuel their passion for learning at an Ivy League institution that values and respects student voices and is known for embracing independent thinkers. Brown Pre-College students will experience the rigors of college-level classes, studying alongside peers from around the world who are just as motivated and curious.

Student Life
In addition to rigorous academics, students engage in a wealth of out of class experiences, because social and emotional growth is just as important in a student’s journey to college! Our incredible Student Life Team provides a vast array of engaging, fun and informative social experiences to students on campus and online. Brown Pre-College students enjoy the excitement and responsibility that comes from having the freedom to balance challenging academics and enriching social activities — without the pressure of formal grades.
Engage Student Potential
Columbia University Pre-College Programs
We know the school year has just started, but at Columbia’s Pre-College Programs, we are always looking ahead.
We have just opened the spring application to our Academic Year Immersion program. All the relevant information can be found on this flyer, including the cost and dates.
Although there are many seemingly similar programs, we think you will find that none offer the breadth of course options here at Columbia. We love that students have an opportunity to try their hand at subjects normally reserved for college while still in high school.
More importantly, we love the effect our classes have had on our students beyond the program. We can personally attest to having spoken to the parents of students and students, themselves, who have left the program feeling more confident in their abilities and having the courage to speak up and take on leadership roles in their classes and their schools.
The early registration deadline for the Immersion program is October 11.
Finally, please use this code to waive the $80 application fee as a token of our appreciation to students: HSIM220

Landmark College Summer College Readiness Program
Help your students successfully transition to college, academically and socially!
Even the most high-achieving students often face unanticipated difficulties in their first semester of college, possibly putting them at risk for failure or struggle. Problems often arise not from a lack of academic abilities, but from the enormous jump in independence required in a college environment.
The Landmark College Summer College Readiness program is all about preparation—through practice and exposure—for that crucial first semester of college. It is also about understanding the changing role of a high school student to a college student.
Components that can help students achieve this include:
PEERS® Intensive Workshops – Run in collaboration with our Success Center in San Mateo, California, this online/in-person hybrid workshop provides students with skills to make and keep friends using the evidence-based Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®).
Rite of Passage: Transition to Adulthood – This new component of the Summer College Readiness Program utilizes experiential programming to help students understand and embrace their transition from adolescence to emerging adulthood. Students will gain interpersonal and practical skills while exploring their own values and designing a service project to bring change to a community they care about.
The Summer College Readiness Program runs July 14 – 27. Students must be admitted to a college other than Landmark College to participate.
Learn more about the Summer College Readiness Program
Summer PEERS® Intensive Workshops (July 15 – 26) also occur independently from the Summer College Readiness Program, with participation in adolescent and young adult cohorts available.
