Oxbridge in Boston is an academic summer program for students in grades 9-12 held in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Students follow one subject per 2-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, and 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.
