Who thrives here Ages 16–18

Pratt Institute Pre-College: Summer (Commuter) serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options.

Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
