Socratic Summer Academy and Mount Holyoke College
A private liberal arts women’s college in South Hadley, Massachusetts, Mount Holyoke College is a highly selective all women’s college - the oldest member of the historic Seven Sisters colleges. It is also part of the Five-College Consortium, composed of nearby Hampshire, Amherst, UMass Amherst, and Smith. Mount Holyoke boasts a gorgeous campus in a lively arts and cultural community.
We are incredibly lucky to have worked with Mount Holyoke College since 2018 - at which time they built a fire pit for us so we could have campfire under the stars! We know the campus extremely well and have close relationships with the staff.
Nota Bene: all genders and non-gender-identifying students are welcome at MHC, regardless of the fact that it’s an all-women’s college during the academic year
