Exploration Learning Launches New Pre-College + Career Programs and a Return to Wellesley College for Summer 2022

Exploration Learning (EXPLO) this week announced new Immersive Pre-College + Career Programs for students in Grades 10-12 that will be based on campus at Wellesley College this summer. The new programs mark EXPLO’s return to the Wellesley campus where it had previously run other summer programs for 40 years.

EXPLO is a non-profit organization that specializes in personalized academic enrichment programs where smart, curious students in grades 4-12 from around the country and the world step outside of their comfort zones, grasp the power of their potential, and embrace their ability to shape the future.

The Pre-College + Career program, which was piloted at Colby College in Maine last year, allows students in grades 10-12 an opportunity to earn college credit from Sarah Lawrence College – a top-ranked liberal arts college that the Princeton Review hails for its excellence in teaching and academic rigor – while they explore a subject they’re most curious about. This exploration happens not through textbooks and lectures, but with real-world projects created exclusively for EXPLO by the thought leaders shaping the future of the profession.

Working side-by-side with industry experts, students will get an elevated pre-college academic experience while building a community with their peers and mentors. This exposure will give students a better understanding of the professions they may be interested in before they make critical decisions to pursue their fields of study in college.

Summer sessions for the Pre-College + Career Program run from June 26-July 8 (Session 1), July 10-22 (Session 2), and July 24-August 5 (Session 3).

In addition to the Pre-College + Career Program at Wellesley College, EXPLO also runs EXPLO Junior, a program for students in grades 4-7 at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, and EXPLO Senior, a program for students in grades 8-10 at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York.

“Home to outstanding academic and recreational facilities, extraordinary architecture, an art museum, observatory, meadows, and woodlands, Wellesley College is the perfect setting for our Pre-College + Career Program,” said Moira Kelly, President of EXPLO. “The location is only enhanced by the College’s belief in the transformative power of curiosity, learning, and teaching – a belief we share here at EXPLO. Our summer programs are designed to unlock our students’ creativity, confidence, and critical thinking – so they can take strides to achieve their wildest dreams. We are excited to house this program at Wellesley, a part of the Greater Boston/Cambridge ecosystem that is known the world over as a global innovation and education hub.”
