关于

The 追求 Program of 博亚体育app School is a tuition-free academic enrichment and leadership development program.

upon high school will be a first-generation college student
crave academic enrichment and leadership development opportunities

Students attend three consecutive summer sessions (prior to entering sixth, 第七, and eighth grades) and also gather for events throughout the school year.

"追求 has shown me how to be an effective leader as well as the importance of a strong role model!"
