During this three week program, students will complete the equivalent work of one year in a high school course. They will attend classes five days a week, six hours a day, and a three hour class every Saturday. To qualify, one must be in grades 7-11, and have taken the ACT, or the SAT, and gotten a certain high score. The courses being taught range from genetics to astronomy. The work is rigorous, but more than half of the participants return the following year.
