Summer Discovery offers high school programs focused on entrepreneurship, engineering, medicine, and humanities at Dartmouth, one of the world's greatest academic institutions.
The Dartmouth Precollege Summer Scholars academic enrichment program offers high school students an exceptional opportunity to explore a wide range of diverse academies across various disciplines. This program is crafted to immerse students in the rigorous academic atmosphere and vibrant intellectual community characteristic of Dartmouth. As a prestigious Ivy League institution, Dartmouth is recognized globally for its dedication to excellence in education, research, and community involvement.
Dartmouth is home to several renowned graduate and professional schools, including the Geisel School of Medicine, the Thayer School of Engineering, the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, and the Tuck School of Business. These institutions contribute to Dartmouth's dynamic academic environment, where students benefit from small class sizes, personalized attention from distinguished faculty, and a rigorous curriculum that challenges and inspires.
Our Dartmouth Precollege academic enrichment programs are intensive academies designed by Dartmouth and taught by university faculty and expert instructors, featuring over five hours of class time each day. Some courses culminate in capstone presentations before a panel of selected peers and community members. Throughout the courses, students engage with a range of impactful guest speakers, offering real-time insights into their respective industries.
There is also a hybrid learning option: 1 week of virtual learning followed by 1 week of on-campus engagement. Begin with 10 hours of online instruction and assignments during the first week, then courses will follow the same daily schedule as other Summer Scholars once on campus. At the end of the program, students receive a branded Certificate of Completion from Dartmouth.
Costs vary by campus and length of the program. See our website for details.
