Programme or program?

In the context of a summer school, does it have to be programme or program when refering to the different classes that are going to be offered?

THX for any help in advance,

Generally, Americans do not use the word "programme" unless they are affiliated with a British or European organization. However, they occasionally use it to describe an event/occasion in order to (I believe) sound more cosmopolitan/European/British. Otherwise, Americans would consider use of the word "programme" to be a spelling mistake.

If it's a school that uses British English, it is likely programme.
If it's a school that uses American English, it is likely program.

So you will have to consult the school.
