Brown Summer High School (BSHS) is a morning enrichment program where motivated local students explore subjects they’re passionate about. Courses in English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies challenge students to think critically and engage in hands-on, experiential learning.

Each summer, 150 students come together on Brown’s campus for engaging classes taught by teams of Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) candidates. Courses strive to make learning relevant to students lives. Students from Providence, Central Falls, and surrounding communities attend free of charge.

Enrollment is first come, first served until spots are full or until the first day of class. BSHS courses emphasize equity and justice, making learning meaningful and relevant to students' lives. Hands-on projects, discussions, and collaborative activities help students develop essential skills for college and beyond.

Outside of the classroom, students share breakfast and lunch, participate in assemblies, and attend panels focused on college and future pathways.
