The Summer Institute for the Gifted Day Program provides instruction in approximately 30 courses during its regular academic schedule and engages students in recreational activities every day. Courses are taught at levels appropriate for academically gifted students ages 4-14 (ages vary by campus*), covering humanities, mathematics and sciences, and multi-disciplinary courses. Every student selects three courses and has a recreational period. Each class meets five times a week for 90 minutes each.

The various arts courses available are designed to provide students with an opportunity to explore areas of interest and to provide meaningful learning experiences. Recreational activities provide an opportunity to learn new skills or enhance existing talents.

For those students who want to continue with a day program option, or are not quite ready for a residential program, many SIG day campuses include courses for students ages 13-14. Please see the listing of day programs to see the age levels offered at each one.
