Middle School Enrichment
Unique Opportunities offered by Summer Discovery
Junior Discovery is a summer enrichment program for middle school students completing grades 6, 7, and 8 (ages 12-14). At Junior Discovery, learning is everywhere — in the classroom, residence hall, dining hall, on-stage, on the tennis court or ball field, on trips and excursions, and in the daily interaction between peers, dynamic teachers, and resident counselors. We offer a variety of options for location and program length so that everyone can experience flexibility and comfort for enrichment.
Custom crafted courses at UCLA, Bryn Mawr, or Georgetown will prepare students for high school while also exposing them to life on a college campus. Programs provide a well-rounded and fun experience to promote personal enrichment, recreation, and flexibility.
The once-in-a-lifetime 1 week intensive program at UCLA aims to jump start students' learning and passions through advanced academics and building 21st century durable skills, also while allowing students to experience campus life in a safe and supportive environment.
