about the summer institute for the gifted
SIG offers gifted students:
  1. Superior programs
    SIG has the best well-rounded program for gifted students because we combine academics, social, cultural and recreational opportunities. Our 25 years of experience have made us the leading organization in the field.
     
  2. Prominent academic institutions
    SIG programs are held at Amherst College, Bryn Mawr College, Emory University, Princeton University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UT Austin, Vassar College, and other prestigious colleges and universities.
     
  3. Top quality instructors
    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.
     
  4. Innovative academic program
    Students not only study traditional subjects, but also might encounter a Japanese Samurai, Joan of Arc, or Ghandi, build a model rocket, perform comedy improvisation, and learn in many other active and unique ways. Learning is fun!
     
  5. Sports & recreational activities
    The SIG academic program provides an opportunity for students to explore not only such sports as tennis, soccer, and volleyball, but also sports such as fencing and archery, and even the art of meditation, at most of our campuses.
     
  6. A safe and secure learning environment
    Student safety, security and health are our top priority at SIG. All SIG campuses are in safe suburban locations and have campus security. We can be reached at the on-campus SIG office seven days a week. A registered nurse lives on campus during the program and is available 24-hours a day. Students can be reached by phone in an emergency. The new World Class Coverage Plan of insurance also provides many benefits, including program cancellation insurance due to medical reasons, or if either parent of the insured is laid off.
     
  7. Diversity in our student body
    Make life-long friends with gifted students from the U.S. and around the world. Our diverse, international student body will expose your child to other cultures.
     
  8. Outstanding campus facilities
    Students experience the energy and excitement of campus life. While every campus is different, most have a computer lab, science facilities, library, indoor pool, tennis courts and playing fields.
     
  9. Residential or day programs
    Choose the program that is best for your child.
     
  10. Education planning service
    You will receive access to a “members only” SIG/AIFS exclusive website in association with Peterson’s.
