Summer Programs For High School Students: Part 2
If you have read my previous post, you are aware of some tips that will help you choose the right summer school program. Now let’s have a look at some programs.
Cornell University Summer College. The duration of the college summer programs is six weeks, regardless of the subject course. There is absolutely no distinction between summer college students and those of the university. Both take the same exams at the and of the term and receive an official Cornell University transcript.
They offer various courses (about 80) — law and politics, engineering, medicine, humanities, architecture, art, business, science, writing and psychology.
In addition to regular courses, exploration seminars are also included in the college summer programs. The seminars consist of daily lectures as well as guest speakers and special projects. The seminars are not graded, but students are given certificates of participation.
College summer programs are provided for about 600 students from all over the world.
California State Summer School for the Arts (otherwise known as Inner Spark). The residential training lasts for a month and is for artistically talented students who want to develop their skills in arts and entertainment industries.
Currently, California Institute of the Arts hosts the program which includes courses in animation, theater arts, visual arts, film and video, music, dance, and creative writing.
The program is designed primarily for high school students of California state and for about 20 students outside California.
There are separate sections for male and female students of CSSSA-InnerSpark. The students share a room with two or three other students.
Young artists who prefer to spend part of their summer vacations in CSSSA-InnerSpark, will be gifted with a Governor’s Medallion at the end of the term, which is the highest distinction in California for artistically talented students.
You will find information about other programs in my next post.
