Our program primarily focuses on urban areas and economically disadvantaged students. The program is open to African-American and Latino/a students from public schools in Atlanta, Ga.; Baltimore, Md.; Boston, Mass.; Chicago, Ill.; Cleveland, Ohio; Fort Worth, Texas; Lawrence, Mass.; Louisville, Ky.; Memphis, Tenn.; New York, N.Y.; and Washington, D.C. Native American students may apply from any geographic area of the United States. Our program gives these students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the study of mathematics and science for three consecutive summers at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass.

All (MS)² scholars begin the program the summer following 9th grade; therefore, they must be in 9th grade when they apply. The program provides the students with appropriate and rigorous challenges in order to prepare them better or put them in a position for possible careers in engineering, science, medicine, computer technology and other technical fields. The rigors of the program are designed to help the (MS)² scholar become a more self-reliant and self-confident student. The program operates concurrently with Phillips Academy's Summer Session, which offers some 500 additional students from the United States and abroad the opportunity to study subjects of their choice intensely for one summer. The (MS)² scholars are in the same dormitories and sporting events with the students in the Phillips Academy Summer Session program.
