Global Teaching Project Summer Instructional Program

Though classes for the 2024-2025 academic year are just underway, preparation for the Advanced Placement courses students are taking through the Global Teaching Project’s Advanced STEM Access Program began in earnest in June at Mississippi State University.

Photos from the Summer Program show the enthusiasm for learning our students demonstrated, and the excitement they showed in being in the company of other promising students from rural Mississippi.  The photos also show the level of engagement of our instructors and tutors (who this year came from Georgia Tech, Harvard, Illinois, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Northeastern, Notre Dame, Virginia, and Yale.)

GTP’s Summer Program, now in its eighth year, provides immersive instruction to promising high school students who reside on campus and prepare for the rigor of the AP Biology, AP Computer Science Principles, AP Physics 1, and AP Statistics classes they will take through GTP in the upcoming school year.  The Summer Program is provided free of charge to students, and uses no state or local funds.

We look forward to building upon the work begun in Starkville, and to a productive year of learning ahead.

GTP’s Advanced STEM Access Program provides promising students from rural Mississippi communities access to advanced STEM courses they need to achieve their full potential, but which their schools otherwise may not be able to offer.
