Stanford's Education Program for Gifted Youth (EPGY) seeks experienced graduate students, PhDs, post-docs, or others with similar backgrounds and teaching experience in bioscience, engineering, math, physics, computer science, writing and the humanities to teach courses to academically talented high-school and middle-school students this summer at Stanford and abroad. The EPGY Summer Institutes are three- and four-week programs involving intensive in-depth academic investigations. Students in the program are selected for their ability and interest in the course subject areas; they participate in just one course and enjoy challenging and engaging topics that are not available to them in school. Students in the program come from across the U.S.and from around the world. For 2008, we are offering programs (at the high school level) in Beijing, Singapore, and Istanbul. Applicants who are interested in working for one of our international programs should indicate this on the online application. The program dates are as follows. Please note that you are welcome to apply to teach in more than one session. High School Program Session 1 (June 22 to July 11) High School Program Session 2 (July 14 to August 2) High School Program Session 2E (July 14 to August 9) Middle School Program Session 1 (June 22 to July 3) Middle School Program Session 2 (July 6 to July 18) Middle School Program Session 3 (July 21 to August 2) Beijing Program Session 1 (June 22 to July 11) Beijing Program Session 2 (July 14 to August 2) Singapore Program (June 29 to July 18) Istanbul Program (July 21 to August 9) Instructors are supported by undergraduate and graduate student teaching assistants.
