What We Do
The 12-month Malcolm Coates Prep@Pingree program seeks to enrich the lives of students from Lawrence, Lynn, and other communities who have completed their seventh grade academic year by providing academic, cultural, and social opportunities for four weeks during the summer and periodically throughout the year.
Prep@Pingree students...
...Study math, English, engineering, and history in classes taught by experienced public and independent school teachers assisted by high school student instructors.
...Spend two days at Project Adventure engaged in team building exercises.
...Participate in co-curricular activities and workshops on public speaking, financial literacy, interview skills, and more.
...Take day trips within greater Boston and Essex County to visit sites such as MIT, Harvard University, the Ipswich River, the New England Aquarium, and Boston's Museum of Science.
At no cost to its students from partnering and sponsoring organizations, Prep@Pingree provides all transportation, food, books, and related supplies. Prep@Pingree students continue their relationship with the program through their 8th grade academic year, high school, and beyond.
