    Overview

    The National High School Institute brings outstanding students to Northwestern University’s Evanston campus for immersive educational experiences. The oldest and largest university-based program of its kind, NHSI offers studies in Theatre Arts, Film & Video, and Debate.

    Students are affectionately known as "Cherubs," a name given to them by Northwestern Dean Ralph Dennis, whose goal, "to bring together gifted young people and superior teachers in an atmosphere of affection, knowledge, and trust," is still upheld today.
