The HU Campus Connection

HU-MS²’s relationship with Howard University is our greatest advantage — and it’s real, not symbolic. For a 6th, 7th, or 8th grader, being on the campus of a world-class HBCU changes what feels possible.

What it means for your child

Belonging at a world-class HBCU.

A college campus, every day

Our scholars don’t just visit a university — they learn on one. Walking Howard’s historic campus daily builds an early, unshakeable sense of belonging in higher education.

University spaces & resources

Labs, libraries, lecture halls, and fields that most middle schoolers never see become an ordinary part of an HU-MS² education.

Mentors and role models

Access to Howard mentors and graduate tutors means our scholars see people who look like them succeeding in STEM and beyond.

See it for yourself.

The best way to understand the Howard advantage is to walk the campus with us. Schedule a tour, or apply through the My School DC lottery.
