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.
