"I am deeply impressed by many aspects of this program, including the warmth
and professionalism of the staff, the rigor and creativity of the curriculum, and
the physical beauty of its setting. But what impresses me most, are the students
themselves."
Dr. Debby Applegate, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
"Every summer, all I have to do is mosey on down from my hilltop home overlooking
Amherst College, and walk into an ongoing conversation about the Big Stuff. It always
feels like an intellectual transfusion."
Dr. Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
"I will mark Amherst as my most memorable event of the year, simply because
of the smartest and most generous kids I was surrounded with. I wish they could
be my students forever..." "
Da Chen, award-winning, best-selling author
"What a terrific curriculum and an enthusiastic group of young people. Made
me want to drop everything and sign up."
Barry Eisler, best-selling author
"The students were such an engaged and smart and interesting group. I really
enjoyed talking to them but mostly just appreciated being asked such a varied array
of questions. It was a lot of fun."
