Putney Pre-College Tokyo

Putney Pre-College summer programs are designed for motivated high school students who are intellectually curious and passionate about the world around them. Based in exciting, vibrant locations, our programs combine pre-college enrichment and travel, taking you beyond the standard summer class model. Pursue a passion or discover new interests in an exciting atmosphere that encourages active involvement, creativity, a sense of community, exploration, adventure, and fun. Choose a seminar and dive into your coursework through engaging discussions and hands-on projects. Frame your seminar concepts and key issues, and then take the learning beyond the classroom as you dig deeper through fieldwork, site visits, and meetings with local experts. In the process, gain a better understanding of the subject matter, as well as the research, interview, and analytical tools you need to tackle any academic challenge. The Putney Pre-College experience prepares you academically and socially for taking the important next step into college. Expand your worldview through travel, meet new people from all over the globe, test-drive potential major fields of study in real-world environments, and explore new interests amid a tight-knit community of like-minded peers and supportive instructors. Emerge from the program with lasting friendships and a new perspective of life beyond high school.
