Providing Innovative STEAM+ Programs Tailored to Your Child’s Interests

Our STEAM+ curriculum is designed to strengthen your child’s existing skills while allowing them to acquire new ones across a broad range of disciplines. Through challenging yet engaging course content, gifted students can explore new interests, deepen their passions, and discover new potential pathways—preparing them for high-impact roles in the future.

At Summer Institute for the Gifted, students learn in small class sizes alongside instructors and teaching assistants. In this way, they can personalize their learning journey to meet specific goals tailored to their interests, needs, and abilities. This encourages students to become active learners who explore practical concepts in subjects that range from life sciences and artificial intelligence to finance and political science. 

Boosting Creative Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking Skills in Students

Creative problem solving and advanced critical thinking skills are valuable abilities that can accelerate students’ academic development and personal growth. Through our STEM summer programs, your child can benefit from guided inquiry that broadens their perspectives and promotes self-directed learning.  

Faced with projects that feature real-world problems, your child will be prompted to explore and research complex topics in order to find actionable solutions. In addition to strengthening their research and critical thinking skills, they will be able to analyze current and engaging issues in new ways—increasing their understanding of multidisciplinary topics while enhancing their creative problem-solving skills.

Promoting a Love of Learning through Collaboration in STEM Summer Programs

A like-minded community is one of the most distinctive aspects of our gifted summer programs, which nurtures a deeper love of learning in students who are equally engaged and motivated in their studies. Because our STEAM+ curriculum incorporates collaborative hands-on projects, students are able to benefit from this community and improve their teamwork and communication skills. 

Our STEAM+ projects encourage thoughtful dialogue and collaborative problem-solving—creating an environment where students encourage and support one another. Gifted students with different backgrounds and interests can combine their skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm to reach innovative solutions and learn from each other. In this way, your child can make the most of their summer and experience a one-of-a-kind education.
