School Celebrations

We are celebrating our amazing 8th Grader Ms. Arna Gumgol who attended The Academies by Harvard Student Agencies weekend course on Human Anatomy. Ms. Gumgol was recommended by her 8th Grade Science Teacher Dr. Melad, Arna attended the session on Human Anatomy - Systems of the body. The Academies by Harvard Student Agencies. The Academies are Harvard-taught programs for high school students that foster intellectual and pre-professional growth. Between business, coding, government, and pre-med, The Academies help ease the stress of figuring out your future. Participants can explore interests and make confident decisions as they begin thinking about college. The Academies are also uniquely positioned to connect participants to Harvard undergraduate mentors who can offer valuable advice on the college admissions landscape. The one weekend intensive Virtual Academies are the perfect opportunity to connect with Harvard students without having to leave home. We are proud of you Arna.
