Columbia Climate School’s Pre-College programs empower passionate high school students to become future climate leaders, combining expert-driven learning with real-world action to shape solutions for a sustainable future.
About Our Pre-College Programs
Our Pre-College program is for high-school students (Grades 9-12, and rising 9th grade students) who want to sharpen their knowledge and skills in the areas of climate change and sustainability. The programs will help participants build important skills, advance their learning outside of school, and prepare for the college experience.
All participants will join a supportive Columbia University community and learn from and network with instructors who are experts in their fields. Our offerings are structured around real-time conversations, hands-on activities, and project-based learning in order to provide participants with an introduction to real-world research, ideas, and solutions.
Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate of participation from the Columbia Climate School.
