Stanford Summer Humanities Institute - This three-week residential program invites rising high school juniors and seniors to engage with profound questions in the humanities. Participants join seminars led by Stanford professors and graduate students, exploring topics such as history, philosophy, and literature. The immersive, in-person experience allows students to connect deeply with peers and instructors while living on Stanford’s campus. Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC) - SUMaC is an intensive program for a select group of rising high school juniors and seniors worldwide. Participants delve into advanced mathematics through challenging coursework and collaborative problem-solving. The program is offered in both online and residential formats, providing flexibility while maintaining the rigorous, non-credit enrichment experience. Stanford Pre-Collegiate University-Level Online Math & Physics - This program offers advanced online courses in math and physics, enabling high school students to earn Stanford University Continuing Studies credit and receive an official transcript. The courses are designed for students seeking to engage deeply with university-level content, preparing them for future academic challenges in STEM fields. These programs provide unique opportunities for students to advance their knowledge and engage with Stanford’s resources, fostering academic and personal growth.
