Penn Summer High School Programs
Get your first taste of college life at an Ivy League Institution with a breathtaking historic campus, in a vibrant urban setting.
Penn Summer High School Programs, open to both residential and commuting students, offer an outstanding academic challenge:
- Our programs are built around courses taught by Penn faculty, scholars, and distinguished outside experts.
- With small class sizes—usually between 15 and 20 students—you can be sure to get the individualized attention you deserve.
- The programs include academically based extracurricular activities such as SAT preparation workshops, a college writing series, and presentations about college admissions procedures.
The Penn campus itself offers an enormous array of lectures, panels, musical and dramatic performances. It has the country’s largest open-stack library, state-of-the-art research labs, and world-class museums. In addition, the city of Philadelphia offers an endless variety of historical and cultural destinations.
