Applying to college has always been seen as a daunting process. Between the requirements, standing out, and each school having its own process, many students spend months stressed out before even getting to the anxiety-inducing time of waiting for decisions. Here at Summer Discovery, we believe in easing the minds of students and families at every stage when it comes to applying to college and we have the perfect way to do it: we have our own in-house former admissions counselor!

Our programs at UCLA just got bigger!  Test drive a summer experience with our new 1-Week Middle School program at UCLA. This accelerated offering combines exploratory academic courses with elements from UCLA’s nationally renowned leadership development program to deliver an impactful academic and leadership experience. This program is ideal for middle school students who want to develop their leadership skills while delving into an academic area of interest.

Bryn Mawr's picturesque campus just outside of Philadelphia is the perfect location for middle school students to explore their academic interests while honing their leadership and communication skills. Students have numerous course options in tech, coding, engineering, robotics, and more!  This unique enrichment program goes beyond just academics and teaches life and career skills for the 21st century. Learning is everywhere — in the classroom, residence hall, dining hall, on-stage, on the athletic field, on trips and excursions, and in the daily interaction between like-minded peers, dynamic teachers, and resident counselors.
