Thompson Island Outward Bound Summer Expeditions: http://www.thompsonisland.org/english/youth/summer

Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center is a not-for-profit organization that provides outdoor adventure and experiential learning programs for young people from diverse economic backgrounds. Our programs are designed to inspire leadership and teamwork in the youth we serve. Located in the Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area, Thompson Island is a unique destination for work or play.

For more than 60 years, Outward Bound has been delivering adventure and challenge-based courses to youth worldwide. Grounded in the educational philosophy of its founder, Kurt Hahn, the Outward Bound experience seeks to empower young people through hands-on experiences. Hahn believed “the aim of education is to inspire an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self-denial and, above all, compassion."

Using the wilderness as a classroom, Outward Bound guides students through a journey of self-discovery. By combining learning-by-doing, adventure, challenge and fun within a diverse group of students, we set the stage for them to explore their possibilities as leaders, problem solvers, and responsible citizens of the world community.

In Ithaca's residential pre-college summer program, high school students experience college life while living in a safe environment.

Our summer college alumni report they were better prepared for a successful transition to college. And many students appreciate the opportunity to earn college credit in their academic courses. Credits earned during the three-week summer college program are accepted at Ithaca College and normally transferable to other colleges. Students who attend the one-week session earn a certificate of completion.

A three-week session runs from June 28 through July 17, 2009 and a one-week session runs from July 19-24, 2009.

 

 

The Pre-college Summer Session begins July 6, 2009 and extends through July 31, 2009. We offer courses for college credit as well as non-credit courses. At the close of the program, students are invited to participate in an exhibition and opening reception for student work completed during the summer session, July 31, 2009 from 6:00 pm–8:00 pm at 700 Beacon Street.

Eligibility Requirements: http://giftedstudy.com/eligibility.asp 

SIG provides academically advanced students with an interesting and challenging educational experience. The program combines remarkable academic courses with cultural, social, and recreational opportunities. The academic program is central to the design and purpose of SIG. Our program provides students with academic challenges designed to fit their abilities and interests. It also provides them with the opportunity to engage with other students who have similar abilities and interests. Because of our small classes, low teacher-student ratio, and teaching assistants, we are able to individualize the program for each and every student.

Meeting other diverse students who are interested in learning provides a sense of belonging that many gifted students seek. The richness of a broad range of geographical, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, the stimulation created by talented and intellectually engaged students working and playing together, the depth and diversity of the SIG faculty and staff, and the beautiful and well-equipped college campus environments create a perfect atmosphere for learning, growing and accomplishing meaningful goals.

SIG programs are held at Amherst College (http://giftedstudy.com/residential/amherst/index.asp), Bryn Mawr College, Emory University, Princeton University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UT Austin, Vassar College, and other prestigious colleges and universities.

SIG faculty includes college and university professors, educators of the gifted, professional practitioners, and experts from specific fields, with degrees from Columbia University, Harvard University, Cornell University, and other excellent colleges and universities.

Hofstra University Honors College Summer Scholars Program is a four-week (July 5-31, 2009) opportunity for motivated high school students, who have completed their sophomore or junior year, to sample college life, earn college credits, explore various career paths, experience the rich culture of New York City and the local area, and enhance their preparation for the college search process.

This year is the 23rd Anniversary of The Cambridge College Programme. Over the years parents have sent their sons and daughters to this highly acclaimed program for both academic and social growth during their high school years. Those who are admitted choose from two, three week programmes: The Academic Programme or the International Leadership Programme. A week-long Paris excursion may also be added to either option.

Since the inception of the Cambridge College Programme, it has been the goal to not only offer challenging academic courses, but also to incorporate an in-depth course study through lectures and excursions to expose scholars to both cultural and historic venues, which will broaden their horizons during their stay in England. We are proud to anounce that the Summer 2009 Programme has 65 course offerings.

Students in both the Academic and Leadership Programmes will become very familir with the city of Cambridge, one of the most important—and picturesque—towns in England. It is the county town of Cambridgeshire and the seat of one of the oldest universities in the British Isles. From the 14th century onwards, the University of Cambridge began to develop in earnest as its colleges were founded by noble families, influential churchmen, town guilds, and royalty.

Delineated expectations for student behavior are provided to not only assure a safe and wholesome community, but to assure the time and efforts of all can be focused in positive and productive ways. It is the intent of the Board of Directors that Wolfeboro provide a structured and purposeful approach to both scholastic work and to the quality of student life.

The School believes that a student functions best in an environment in which all expectations are clearly understood. A Student Handbook of Policies and Procedures detailing required student conduct and the School’s methods of operation is sent to each individual who inquires about the School. A thorough understanding and acceptance of the Handbook’s contents is essential, as the School is proudly firm in all areas of student accountability.

Respect, accountability and responsibility for self, for others, and for the community as a whole are keystones to Wolfeboro's philosophy. The School reserves the right to dismiss any student at any time for violation of rules and regulations or whose behavior has a negative influence on the positive spirit of The Wolfeboro Experience.
