The Middle School STEM Academy is an immersive, year-round program for students in grades 6–8. Its hands-on curriculum sparks curiosity, develops critical thinking, and prepares students for careers in medicine, life sciences, biotechnology, and engineering.
The summer program runs from June to August at The Pathway Initiative’s Innovation Lab in Downtown Boston. Students meet in-person for 30 hours weekly at $699 per week, with a sibling discount available.
This STEM enrichment experience builds a strong foundation for success in Honors and AP science courses and supports competitive college admissions, including Ivy League schools. Students engage with Zspace VA/VR simulations, human models, live lab experiments, 3D printing, and programmable robotics applied to biology, bioengineering, and medicine.
Light snacks will be provided. Students should bring their own lunch from home.
