Thank You To Our Partners!
Summer Enrichment programs allow students to continue their academic interests even after the school year has ended. The specialized courses are intended to match students' innate interests and connect them with good jobs in the local economy. Each program is designed by top-level experts from our Partner Organizations and modeled after the best practices from that profession.
Students benefit from completing a portfolio as part of the two-week program that they can show to prospective colleges and employers. It encapsulates the type of work that was done, the content of the work, and the quality of the work. Students can look back on the work and review it, improve it, and add to it.
SRI-certified courses follow the natural learning process that is hard-wired into us. Real-world problem-solving motivates students to learn the information because they need it to solve the problem. The knowledge stays with them because there is a practical purpose behind it, which activates their curosity and connects the experience to their lives.
