As one of the only full-time residential early college programs of its kind, The Clarkson School seeks incoming high school seniors who share the same spirit and potential for achievement as Clarkson Founder and entrepreneur Thomas Streatfeild Clarkson and today’s Clarkson community: ingenuity, drive, intellectual rigor, character, pragmatism and vision. As a major teaching and research institution, Clarkson University prides itself on its diversity – not only in terms of program offerings, but the variety of students and vast talents these nationally ranked programs attract. The students who thrive in the Clarkson School are highly motivated; continue to demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence, and value the opportunity to learn and live in a rigorous, yet supportive, collegiate environment.
