Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG) runs 2 and 3-week academic programs for gifted and academically talented students ages 5-17. The programs combine academics with social, cultural, and recreational activities for a truly transformative experience.
SIG differs from singular program formats as students are able to choose 2 courses to study during the program, selecting from Humanities, Math and Sciences, Creative and Performing Arts, and Fitness and Recreation. Additionally, the social and emotional aspects of growth receive a high priority in SIG programs through night and weekend student activities, counselor group bonding, and on and off-campus excursions. Through 35+ years of experience, SIG has developed a unique opportunity that enriches and enhances students' natural talents and abilities while encouraging them to engage in individual areas of intellectual passion.
SIG Residential Programs are held at prestigious colleges and universities, including Yale University, Emory University, and UC Berkeley. SIG is selective in its campus facilities to allow students to experience the energy and excitement of campus life, while being part of a well-staffed and well-supervised program.
