The Experimental Study Group (ESG) is a learning community at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was created in 1969 by Professor George Valley to explore alternative teaching and learning methods in a small group setting at MIT.

Currently, the program consists of about 50 first year students, 30 upperclass students, 10 hired staff instructors and administrators, and many other friends of the community. Classes, which are often taught by undergraduates, usually consist of 4-6 students. ESG also offers an independent study option.
