Explore academic horizons with top-rated summer programs.
Summer school is a great way for students to get exposed to new areas of study, form meaningful relationships with university professors, and get a preview of future college life. From an application stand point, excellence in summer school programs not only indicates high academic potential, but may also provide a path to a letter of recommendation from a recognized professor. Many of the courses taken during the summer offer academic credit, which reduces tuition fees as well as time needed to complete your undergraduate degree.
Here are some of the leading summer school opportunities open to high school students this year. All of these schools are currently operating online, which makes them even more accessible to students.
