The Challenge 2025 program begins on July 7th and ends on July 25th.
The program runs for three weeks, five days a week from 9:00 AM to 2:20 PM. Classes are held in person at the University of Washington Seattle campus. Classes are small and instructors are all specialists in their field.
There are no tests, students are not graded, and there is little homework; it’s all about delving deeply into a subject of interest!
Summer Challenge students may be dropped off at their classroom no earlier than 8:50 AM. For Summer Challenge students who need to be dropped off earlier, we offer an option for supervised before-class care from 8:15 AM – 9:00 AM at the Robinson Center. Students will be escorted to their classes by teaching aides.
There is no before-class care the first day of classes.
Parking passes for After Care can be found here.
For Summer Challenge students, we also offer after-class care from 2:20 PM – 4:30 PM. We supervise all students and provide fun activities to keep them engaged.
There is no after-class care on the final day of the program.
