I am writing to share information about a free resource that can be used to find quality summer programs that are available for high school students. The resource is a comprehensive website that has been designed by educators to make it easier for students, parents, and educators to find quality summer programs.

The website is http://www.studenteducationprograms.com. It is a free directory of programs that is organized into categories (including a Pennsylvania Programs Category) that has information about a variety of beneficial summer programs for students. Please feel free to share this website with your students and/or to make it a link on your school's website.

 

 

Here are the latest summer program offerings we have received. College credit is given in most cases. There are tuition fees and sometimes scholarships. Remember, registration is required and there are deadlines for applying.
