Oxbridge in Boston is an academic summer program for students in grades 9-12 held in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Students follow one subject per two-week session(s); popular courses include Medicine, Neuropsychology, Government and Politics, and International Law, and every course takes full advantage of the resources and sites in the city. We recruit our faculty from top institutions such as MIT, Boston University, and Tufts University. Our optional activities encourage students to discover all that Boston has to offer, from the Freedom Trail, to Fenway Park, to kayaking on the Charles River. Students have the opportunity to learn about American universities during optional college tours of several schools in the greater Boston area.

The Boston Common was the first public park in the country, and the Boston Latin School was America’s first public school. Today, Boston is famous for its successful sports teams (from the Boston Red Sox in baseball to the New England Patriots in American football), world-class journalism by publications like the Boston Globe, and its many prestigious colleges and universities, including Harvard University, which hosts our Oxbridge in Boston program.
