Summer Programs for high school students, particularly pre-college summer programs are located on college campuses. While some are located off campus for hands-on, in-field experiences. Most summer programs are fee based and transportation is not included. Many of the programs require an application process to be completed by students and parents. Below is a list of summer programs designed to give high school students an opportunity to engage and expand students’ interests and exploration beyond the school year. Please know, these programs are not conducted by CUSD.
