Schedule

EPGY students have full and busy daily schedules. The typical weekday routine for EPGY begins with breakfast in a Stanford dining hall, followed by morning classes. The courses are taught in Stanford classrooms or in EPGY computer labs, and are followed by lunch. The students then return for a study, workshop, or lab session which is typically held in their residences. These sessions usually consist of one-on-one conferences, small group discussion sessions, projects, labs, or independent work. The late afternoon is filled with a variety of activities, which allow students to get to know other EPGY students outside of their residence and course. After dinner, there is another opportunity for continued work on course assignments followed by evening events. These vary from camp-wide activities, such as the EPGY Talent Show, to free time to practice music or write home, to supervised excursions into downtown Palo Alto. Field trips to exciting cultural and natural attractions are scheduled for one day each weekend, and the other weekend day will have open-ended free time as well as an offering of enjoyable activities. Students are required to be in their residences at the scheduled curfew time, and in their beds for lights-out, in order to get enough rest for the next busy EPGY day.
