Overview
The Stanford University EPGY Summer Institutes are summer residential programs designed for middle and high-school students to enrich their educational pursuits and meet others with similar interests and abilities. The programs are divided into two groups, middle school and high school, offering intensive-study course taught by Stanford instructors.
High School Program (Ages 13 - 17)
The High School Program is a three- or four-week residential program. Summer Institutes subject areas include arts and humanities, business, computer science, engineering, legal studies, mathematics, social science, physical and biological science and writing. The instructors are assisted by undergraduate and graduate student mentors who have expertise in the course subject areas. These mentors serve a dual role of Residential Counselor and Teaching Assistant so that the academic and social aspects of the program are tightly integrated. Students are housed in residences that are used by Stanford undergraduates during regular school year. High School Program students enrolled in the same course are housed together along with the residential counselors who serve as teaching assistants for that course. Boys and girls will be in separate residences and each room will have two to four students. Admissions Schedule
Applications for the EPGY Summer Institutes are reviewed on a revolving basis while space is available. Applicants are notified of their admissions status via e-mail, and can review their applicant status from the applicant login page. Summer Institutes courses and sessions fill quickly, so interested applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Students may attend only one session.
Middle School Program (Ages 11 - 13)
The EPGY Summer Institutes Middle School Program (MSP) consists of two-week sessions for students in grade 6 and 7. Similar to the Summer Institutes for high-school students, this program provides academic enrichment, a taste of college life at Stanford, and the opportunity to meet others with similar interests and abilities. However, rather than pursuing focused study on a single topic, students study several related topics within a single subject area. Same as the High School Program, Summer Institutes MSP participants live in supervised Stanford housing and are taught by Stanford instructors with the assistance of undergraduate and graduate student mentors who have expertise in the course subject areas.
