The Psychology Summer Program is an academic enrichment experience designed for high school students interested in understanding human behavior and mental processes. The atmosphere is thoughtful, interactive, and intellectually stimulating, encouraging students to actively participate in discussions and explore ideas in depth. Classes are led by experienced instructors who guide students through complex concepts in a clear and engaging way.
The program focuses on core areas of psychology, such as cognitive processes, social behavior, development, and mental health. Lessons go beyond memorization, emphasizing analysis, critical thinking, and real-world application. Students examine case studies, discuss ethical questions, and explore how psychological research is conducted. Class sessions are discussion-driven, helping students build confidence in expressing ideas and supporting arguments.
This program is well-suited for students in grades 9–12, typically ages 14–17, who enjoy academic challenge and independent thinking. Younger high school students benefit from exposure to advanced material in a supportive setting, while older students gain valuable preparation for college-level coursework and potential psychology-related fields.
What makes this program stand out is its balance of rigor and support. Students are challenged intellectually while learning in a collaborative environment that values curiosity, respect, and thoughtful conversation.

The Psychology Summer Program is offered as a residential program with students living in shared campus housing. Residence halls provide a structured environment that supports independence while maintaining supervision. Students are typically placed with roommates of a similar age, helping build peer connections.
Residential staff oversee student life outside of class hours, offering guidance and support as needed. Living on campus allows students to experience a college-style routine, including managing schedules, shared spaces, and responsibilities. This residential component is an important part of the overall experience, helping students prepare for future college life.
Meals are provided as part of the residential program. Students eat together in campus dining facilities, which helps create a sense of community and routine. Mealtimes offer a chance to relax, socialize, and take a break from academic sessions.
A variety of food options are typically available to meet different preferences. Program staff are present to support an organized and positive dining environment. Specific dietary needs and accommodation procedures are shared with families during enrollment.
Student safety is a priority throughout the Psychology Summer Program. The program operates within a supervised campus environment, with trained staff present during classes, activities, and residential hours. Clear expectations and guidelines help create a respectful and secure community.
Residence halls are monitored, and students follow established policies for movement around campus. Academic sessions and group activities are supervised, ensuring students are supported throughout the day.
Emotional safety is also emphasized. Respectful discussion, inclusive dialogue, and academic integrity are core values of the program. Students are encouraged to ask questions, share ideas, and seek support when needed.
The program has procedures in place to support student health and well-being. Health information is collected in advance so staff are aware of individual needs and considerations.
On-site or on-call health support is available to assist students who feel unwell or require medication management. Staff coordinate care and communicate with families if health concerns arise.
Daily schedules balance academic sessions with meals, rest, and downtime to support overall wellness during the program.
