“The SIG program and curriculum provide great opportunities for students to explore new interest areas, strengthen current passions and skills, and interact with other kids who love learning. Such programs are critical in helping students increase their ability to think independently, discover their academic motivations, and make personal contributions to new thought and action in their current and future lives. SIG’s goal of enriching the lives of students through building a community of learners in a compacted three-week session is consistent with our goals for such students and we support the program with great enthusiasm.”
