• Participate in interactive workshops, off-campus trips and insightful lectures from distinguished faculty;

• Earn up to two college credits without any additional coursework or papers (high school only);

• Enjoy an overall experience that students have referred to as the single most important step they took in their preparation for college admission;

• Experience on-campus living at a leading U.S. school, meet new people and make lasting friendships from around the world;

• Work in small groups, learning the importance of teamwork and cooperation

• Discover that they truly do have what it takes to be a leader.

Conferences are 5, 8 and 10 days and are held throughout the summer. Students may choose from prestigious campuses including Stanford, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, UCLA, and many others.
