Our Faculty
Spend a summer learning from distinguished Harvard faculty and visiting faculty.
At Harvard Summer School, we bring together expert faculty and motivated learners from high school to adulthood during the summer months.
Instructing hundreds of courses in over 60 subjects, our faculty inspire students to choose their college major, find new direction in their careers, earn credit for their degree program, or find their confidence in higher education.
Our faculty are educators, practitioners, and scholars. Although their professional experiences differ, faculty share a passion for educating Harvard Summer School students of all ages to help them achieve their academic goals.
It was evident that [my professor] truly put in a large amount of time, dedication, and passion into this course which was reflected through his lectures. His passion for oncology and research was truly what made my time in Cambridge so enjoyable.
