Delve
Looking for a way to get college credit in high school? Interested in showing colleges just what you are made of? Want to explore a topic in-depth?
Registration is open for Delve, ESP's AP preparatory course, and we would love to have you join us for an exciting 29 weeks of learning!
Sign up today at http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Delve/index.html.

What can students expect from Delve?
Delve will offer classes for the Calculus, Physics, Studio Art, Government and Politics: United States and more AP exams during the school year, from mid-September until May. Every Sunday, students will spend 10:00AM to 3:00PM at MIT dedicated to one of these classes (with an hour long lunch break in between). Our classes can be taken as stand-alone classes, not just in conjunction with AP courses at high schools. You will have the opportunity to take the AP in May with your school or with our partner, Cambridge Rindge and Latin School.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Delve at delve@mit.edu.
