The Hope College REACH Program for High School Students and Teachers

Hope College has been a leader in science and math education for decades. Student-faculty research is a vital part of our excellent programs. The focus of our 6-week summer REACH (Research Experience Across Cultures) program for high school students and teachers is to create opportunities for students and teachers to engage in challenging and relevant research projects with Hope's science and math faculty. By building these connections between students, teachers and faculty at Hope College and area high schools, we hope we can have a positive impact on science and math education in West Michigan. Based on recent experiences in these programs, students and teachers return to their schools in the Fall enthused about doing science and math, more prepared for college, and ready to engage their peers in the excitement of research.
