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 for students in grades 8-11. Subject areas include bioscience, business, computer science, engineering, humanities, legal studies, mathematics, physical science, and writing. Past EPGY Summer Institutes participants have come from 60 countries and 49 states, and students leave with a sense of academic accomplishment, new friends, and fond memories of a wonderful time spent at Stanford University.

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.
