Penn Summer High School Programs, open to 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 you can be sure to get the individualized attention you deserve.
  • Residential programs include academically based extracurricular activities such as SAT preparation workshops, a college writing series, and presentations about college admission.
