The Perfect Summer Program

Our students are committed to lifelong learning. From accelerated and advanced learning starting in elementary school, through pre-college summer experiences at top universities, our students are able to build their college resumes and start off on the right foot. The Summer Discovery experience helps students prepare for the future by exposing them to different academic pursuits, advanced hands-on educational experiences that immerse them in specific fields of interest, and fostering soft skills that will allow them to thrive in school, university life, and beyond.


Whether you attend Summer Discovery High School or the Institute for the Gifted, you're part of a family that has connected students for over five decades.

"I learned and enjoyed my courses and I'm sure I'll be able to put them into practice in my future studies and college life. Without a doubt, I advise future Summer Discovery students to meet new people and enjoy every moment!"

"Summer Discovery supported my dream of becoming a doctor. After being able to experience what studying medicine is like and learning about the different parts of the human body, diseases, or even doing lab practices in a real hospital, I know this career path is for me."
