| Program Description: |
| | Since the summer of 2001, the Princeton University Preparatory Program has annually invited 20 to 25 ninth-grade |
| | local high school students, chosen on the basis of their academic potential and family income, to participate in an |
| | intensive three-year program that introduces them to the world of scholarship and raises their academic sights. Each |
| | summer of their high school years, the students spend six weeks on the Princeton University campus taking courses |
| | and interacting with university faculty. The curriculum is built around intensive reading and writing, an introduction |
| | into higher-level mathematics, courses in physical science and sociology, and an in-depth exposure to the fine arts. |
| | A special program has been added that will prepare students for standardized tests and for the college application |
| | process. Full support is provided for seniors in preparing and submitting their college application. |
