Whisk your children off to a world of discovery and growth with the Summer Academic Enrichment Program (SAEP) at California State University, Northridge. With roots dating back to 1979, SAEP is more than a camp; it's a thriving community committed to nurturing young minds academically and personally. SAEP's middle school programs, designed for grades 6-9, are carefully crafted to reinforce and amplify the regular academic curriculum, while also offering a smorgasbord of unique classes aimed at fostering a love for learning.
From computer science to the arts and mathematics, the program emphasizes cultivating positive personal characteristics in each student. In response to changing times, SAEP has seamlessly transitioned to a virtual platform, ensuring learning continues without interruption. The program offers four engaging 50-minute classes, encouraging students to delve into subjects they're passionate about and explore new horizons.
For high school students in grades 9-12, SAEP offers two distinct paths. The academic path allows students to enroll in a year-long course for high school credit, while the elective path provides an advanced preview and additional skills for upcoming classes. Whether your child is an aspiring mathematician, a budding artist, or a computer whizz, SAEP offers a vibrant palette of opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive. And while the experience may be virtual, the knowledge, skills, and memories gained are as real as it gets. So why wait? Let your child's journey to discovery begin with SAEP.
