Join the Princeton High School Science Department Summer Bridge Program!

Who: Rising PHS 9th graders (current 8th graders) enrolled in Biology 1 for the 2021-2022 school year. Applicants should be looking for an opportunity to immerse themselves in the high school community and culture before the school year begins while strengthening skills that will be applied throughout the high school curriculum. ***Please note that students who have placed into Accelerated Biology are not eligible to apply for this program.

What: Students will engage in a variety of experiences including team and culture building, as well as academic enrichment and scientific exploration. Our program will focus on marine biology in and around the Antarctic Peninsula; students will have the opportunity to collaborate with scientists at Rutgers University who have collected data at Palmer Station in Antarctica. The program will expose students to big data science and engineering design thinking. To enrich the learning experience, students will also hear from marine scientists in the field to learn more about their work. The program will conclude with an opportunity to share the science with the students’ friends, family, and PHS community.

When: Monday June 28th – Friday, July 9th
• Most days will be 8:30-11:30am, with two days spanning a full day (8:30-3pm)

Where: Princeton High School (or via Zoom as needed)

Why: Research shows that students who engage in a bridge experience before entering high school have greater transitional success, both academically as well as social-emotionally. This early exposure to the high school curriculum might inspire students to take full advantage of the courses offered at PHS.

How: Fill out this application and submit by March 31st. Students will be selected for the program based on the following criteria:
1. 7th/8th grade Science, Math and English performance
2. Teacher Recommendation
3. Biology Placement Test Scores from December 2020
4. Student-generated responses to application questions
