There’s no set path at EXPLO—you get to chart your own. Choose EXPLO 360°, where you can select from workshops and electives to discover what excites you. Experience an Exploration, where you’ll pursue your area of interest with expert faculty, and step into diverse industry, research, and cultural settings around world-class cities. Or dive into a Concentration, where you’ll get focused career immersion that turns your passion into action.
In EXPLO pre-college summer programs, you’ll join a passionate community of engineers, storytellers, scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, doctors, scholars, and more.

You can do it outside Boston, one of America's top college towns, where you can take a quick train into the city for a foodie tour, harbor cruise, or ball game.
