Frequently Asked Questions 

When Will BSHS Take Place? 

Classes will meet on weekdays from July 7-25, 2025.

Students register for two classes. Because BSHS includes project-based learning, it is important that students attend all class sessions. Due to the short length of the program, students should not sign up for BSHS if they have conflicting obligations in July.

Who Can Apply?

BSHS is open to local high school students entering grades 9-12 who will be at least 14 years old by September. Priority enrollment is given to students from Providence and Central Falls public schools.

Students must live within commuting distance of Brown University.

How Much Does it Cost? 

BSHS will be free of charge to all students.

Who Teaches The Courses? 

Courses are taught by teams of Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) candidates at Brown University. 

Teaching teams are led by exemplary mentor teachers from local schools. Teacher Education faculty supervise and collaborate with all of the teams.

Do Students Receive Credit? 

Some schools grant credit for participation in BSHS. Questions regarding credit should be directed to your school.
