Summer Discovery is a pre-college enrichment program for high school and middle school students that combines academics with fun, activities, and sports. Students experience college life while gaining independence, self-confidence, and social skills. Courses are taught by university faculty and students live on campus, exploring university towns for a robust, complete pre-college summer experience. For 53 years, we’ve helped more than 100,000 students learn and grow. We can't wait for you to join us. 

Your Summer Starts Here

Explore your interests in Acting, Business, Leadership, and more in “The City That Never Sleeps.” Craving dim sum from Chinatown, pizza from Little Italy, or a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge? Easy. You’ll never have the same experience twice.

From courses in medicine, law, and engineering to psychology and fashion – UT Austin is the perfect setting to find your niche.

Cambridge University is in the heart of the British countryside. Study business in a global market, view architecture that spans three millennium, or read Shakespeare in his backyard. Your opportunities are endless at one of the top universities in the world. 

Spend your summer in Washington, D.C. at one of America’s oldest and most prestigious universities. Enjoy museums, history, and cultural diversity while studying law, business & entrepreneurship, leadership, and more.

Family-owned since 1966

Summer Discovery was founded by Mike and Judy Musiker. Their sons, Bob and Jimmy Musiker, expanded the breadth of programs to include pre-college and middle school enrichment through collaborative partnerships with 14 prestigious universities. We're still a Musiker family-owned organization, featuring the most experienced leadership.
