Additional Comments: A summer enrichment pre-Advanced Placement (AP™) Biology program held at Harvard Medical School is a result of the collaboration between Harvard Medical School and the Boston Public Schools.

Students complete the Bridge program before commencing their AP Biology high school courses in the fall.
