Summer Programs
Summer programs are a way for students to explore areas they are interested in, learn a new field, or see what it's like to live independently on a university campus. After any program, an ideal outcome is that a student should have developed or grown as a learner in the specific field.Â
Attending a summer program is not required for university admission, and does not increase admissions chances to a particular institution. Universities are most interested in learning what is important to a student and pieces of evidence that support a student's willingness to engage with and pursue those interests.
Students can search for summer programs on MaiaLearning, by logging in, and clicking on "Enrichment" in the lefthand panel. We also maintain a database (see below) of programs that email ISB counselors throughout the year. ISB does not endorse any of these programs. We are merely passing on information to you. Neither of these databases is a complete list of all the programs that may be available around the globe.
Additionally, every June ISB's Summer School runs a work experience program for HS students which aims:
to provide enterprising students with hands on (where possible) experience in a career path they are interested in pursuing;
to have students experience the daily life and routine of said career;
where possible, to have students be engaged in producing real time projects during their internship.
Students interested in the ISB Summer School work experience program should keep an eye on their email inboxes in semester 2 every year.
