Summer Programs

Summer Programs are a wonderful opportunity for our students to gain academic, leadership, and character development while visiting the beautiful college campuses in our state. Many admission offices agree that a student’s involvement in this type of program can better prepare them for life after high school at a college or university. Greenfield students agree and have been involved in a number of amazing programs. All summer programs are broken into Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools for eligibility.

The Boston University Summer Journalism Academy gives students ages 14 to 18 the opportunity to expand their skills and prepare for college during a time of uncertainty and limited travel due to this year’s pandemic. Each instructor is also a working journalist, so what’s taught is grounded in real-life experience. Each lesson is tied to its practical application, by giving students reporting assignments they can do from home. Each day is a sample of life as a news reporter. Note: An on-campus, in-person session may be offered as the pandemic recedes. In this event, students enrolling in the online academy may opt to change their registration to the on-campus session.
