  • Pre-College Programs

    Summer at Babson offers a range of pre-college experiences that bring our hands-on, entrepreneurial approach to high school students. Options include credit-bearing Babson Academy Summer Study, the non-credit Arthur M. Blank School Summer Program, and additional programming in Miami, giving students multiple ways to explore their interests and build practical skills, connections, and confidence before college.
