The Cambridge Prep Experience is an academic program for students in grades 8-9 held in Peterhouse, the oldest college in Cambridge University, England. There are twenty-three courses available, as diverse as Astronomy, Molecular Biology, Social Psychology, and Writing for Performance.
The international faculty includes Gates and Marshall Scholars, as well as creative professionals – actors, artists, photographers, and writers – from London and elsewhere. Together with program administrators, including Program Deans and Activities Directors, students enjoy a daily schedule that combines intellectual and curricular adventure, cultural enrichment, guest speakers, field trips, activities and sports – all in a safe, supervised environment. At the end of the program, students have the opportunity to stay in Paris, France, to complement their time in England.
