Harvard ESP: Registration Open, Classes Start Sat., Sept. 28

Events, Opportunities

Harvard Educational Studies Program (ESP) is a tuition-free, extracurricular academic enrichment program for students in grades 6-12.  Harvard students volunteer as ESP teachers.  Each class is two hours long and meets on Saturdays at Harvard for seven weeks in the fall.  Classes are in three sessions (10 am-12 pm, 1-3 pm, and 3-5 pm, depending on the course), and students may take classes in any number of sessions.  Registration and course selection is now open, and classes start this Saturday, Sept. 28.

There are no formal test-score qualifications for ESP; students should be self-motivated and genuinely passionate about attending.  STEM-related courses this fall:
