Pre-College Programs
Wake Forest Pre-College Programs are designed for high school students to experience academic rigor, dynamic learning and enriching social interactions in a supportive college environment. All of our programs are meant for enrichment and are not-for-credit, meaning students don’t have the pressure of formal grades.
“I just want to thank you, the counselors, staff, medical school, the university, the instructors, presenters and EVERYONE involved with this program for providing such an amazing opportunity and experience for Aria. She was safe, she was engaged, challenged, motivated, intrigued, encouraged, enlightened, informed, equipped, and armed for the next decisions she has to make.”
Kimberly, parent of a Pre-College Programs student

The friendships made here were friendships that will last a lifetime.

"I was really nervous at first because I wasn’t expecting to see that many people from different schools… [but] I ended up making at least one new friend [at each Summit], which made the space very safe and like a real community. [LAUNCH] gave me more confidence and showed me how amazing it feels to be surrounded by people who support, challenge, and uplift each other." – Sophie, 2025-2026 LAUNCH Scholar
