“I loved the nature immersion experiences that Heather L. Montgomery led—especially the night hike and the stream science. Great reminder of why we might be writing science.”

“Both Heather and Miranda [Paul] were exceptional at teaching their knowledge. They had great insight into their topics: targeted knowledge that was helpful in figuring out formats for projects, ways to revise projects, etc. I enjoyed every session with them.”

“Teaming Miranda Paul and Heather L. Montgomery together provided a great range of experience to draw upon – They complemented and enriched each other, plus it was good to get opinions from two different perspectives.”

Visiting Our Campus

Our campus (The Barn at Boyds Mills) is tucked away in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.  It's a few hours from both New York City and Philadelphia, but worlds away from everyday life.
