(MS)2 PROGRAM OF STUDY
| All (MS)2 students attend nine and one-half hours each of mathematics and science every week and quickly learn valuable lessons in time management. |
Students enter the (MS)2 program during the summer following their ninth grade year, and for three successive summers they spend five weeks taking courses in mathematics, science and English or college counseling at Phillips Academy. (MS)2 courses consist of topics not usually covered in secondary school or they examine topics in considerably greater depth than might normally be expected during the academic year. The pace is fast. The homework assignments are substantial, and the selectivity of the program assures that both students and faculty have high expectations for the work to be accomplished in every course. The (MS)2 curriculum challenges the students to develop a strong work ethic and time management skills.
Because
(MS)2 is an intensive program, four of the six days of
class each week are very full.
