(MS)2

Andover’s longest-running educational outreach program, (MS)2 provides academic and personal enrichment to nurture the competencies and self-confidence of academically talented and motivated high school students interested in careers in math- and science-related fields.

The five-week, three-summer residential program challenges students intellectually with rigorous curriculum (math, science, English, and college counseling). Scholars develop leadership and individual living skills through exposure to peers and educators with diverse backgrounds, life experiences, and aspirations.

This competitive and rigorous academic program is free of charge for all students selected thanks to our generous donors.

(MS)2 will run from Tuesday, June 30 through Sunday, August 2, 2026 on the campus of Phillips Academy. Program highlights include:

  • FREE - no tuition or fees, transportation included
  • 3 consecutive summers - scholars enter after 9th grade
  • 5 weeks each summer
  • Rigorous curriculum with excellent teachers
  • College counseling
  • Athletics and student activity options
  • 24-7 access to campus clinicians through the Sykes Wellness Center
  • International learning community where lifelong friendships are made
