The EPGY Summer Institutes are two-to-four-week residential programs for academically talented and motivated middle and high-school students. The Summer Institutes provide an opportunity for these students to pursue their intellectual curiosity and meet others who share their interests and abilities. Participants are enrolled in a single intensive-study course, taught by a Stanford instructor, and covering topics not typically presented at their grade level.

Summer Institutes High School Program (Ages 13 - 17)

The Summer Institutes High School Program consists of two sessions at Stanford University. Subject areas include bioscience, business, computer science, engineering, humanities, legal studies, mathematics, physical science, and writing. Students live in Stanford residences that house 30 to 40 students, and each residence has an academic theme corresponding to one of the course subject areas. Residential Counselors for each residence are typically Stanford undergraduate and graduate students majoring in the corresponding subject area, and in addition to supervising students in their residential life, they serve as teaching assistants and mentors in the courses.

Summer Institutes Middle School Program (Ages 11 - 13)

The EPGY Summer Institutes Middle School Program consists of three two-week sessions at Stanford University for students in grades 6 and 7. Similar to the High School Program, this program provides academic enrichment, a taste of college life at Stanford, and the opportunity to meet others with similar interests and abilities. However, students are housed by gender, rather than subject area, and the courses are designed specifically for academically talented and motivated middle-school students.
