There’s Still Time to Register for MCC’s Summer College for Kids!
MCC's College for Kids classes start July 10!
With Middlesex Community College’s summer programming, parents can keep their kids learning, having fun, and following a routine. MCC’s College for Kids classes provide unique opportunities for students 8 to 17 to explore interests, learn new skills, meet new friends, and boost self-confidence.
“Throughout the summer, Middlesex helps young students and their families find a balance of staying engaged and having fun through creative expression,” said Audrey Nahabedian, MCC’s Dean of Workforce Development. “At MCC, we have experience working with students of all ages and can help them gain new skills and get early exposure to fields they would not get otherwise. There’s still time to register for sessions starting on July 10.”
During College for Kids, students can explore their artistic sides with courses such as Cakes and Cupcakes, Exploration Art Studio, Fashion Design, Painting on the Surreal Side, Creative Drawing and DIY Crafts.

College for Kids classes are taught by public school teachers and professionals who are experts in their fields. Programs are offered in Bedford and Lowell, featuring six weeks of full- and half-day programs from July 10 through August 17, Monday through Thursday.
Full-day programs run 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and half-day programs run 9 a.m. to noon or 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Students who take two half-day programs to make a full day can stay on campus for lunch in between the two sessions.
“College for Kids is a great way to keep minds fresh while still enjoying summer,” Nahabedian said. “We’re looking forward to kicking off this year’s classes.”
