Admission to Exploration is contingent upon space availability, as well as age considerations. Students may enroll for one or two sessions. Space in the Program is reserved upon the receipt of a deposit and a completed application. Students who reserve space at Exploration before January receive advance copies of our 2010 course catalog and have the first opportunity to reserve space in specific courses, workshops, and special events. (The 2010 course catalog will be available for the general public in early January.)



An application and deposit is used to reserve your space at the Program. We prefer applicants to use our secure online application; however, our application is also available in a paper format (as a PDF document on our downloads page). Applicants who wish to pay their deposit via credit card must use our online application. You may use either application to pay your deposit via check or bank wire. Please note that credit cards are accepted for online deposits only, not for final payment. Final payments must be made by check, domestic wire, or international cable.

Upon receipt of a completed application and deposit, our Program registrars will send a confirmation of enrollment. Within two weeks of enrollment, applicants must submit a school evaluation form (available on our downloads page), which should be completed by a teacher or guidance counselor who knows the student well. Applicants who completed one of the Exploration Programs in good standing in 2009 do not need to submit a school evaluation form.

In addition, medical and health forms (sent to families after enrollment) must be received by Exploration prior to the start of the Program, or a student will not be allowed to register and attend any Exploration Programs.



Courses, workshops, and special trips for 2010 are announced in January. While there is a similar range of courses and events offered each year, specific options may change year to year.

All students enrolled prior to January receive advance notice of these options and, when they become available, receive information on how to select their courses.

Students who enroll after courses, workshops, and special trips are announced in January will receive information on how to select their courses after confirmation of space availability.
