International High School Students

For the past decade, high school students from around the world have enjoyed their first taste of college life by attending one of Penn's Summer High School Programs.  Whether you're interested in earning academic credit at an Ivy League university, gaining hands-on lab experience at a world-class research institution, or improving your English skills through intensive language immersion, we're sure you'll find a program that's just right for you!

TOEFL scores are required for international applicants whose native language is not English. Students who attend an English-medium high school may substitute PSAT scores for TOEFL scores.
