University Of Wyoming Summer High School Institute

Whisk your high schooler away on an educational summer adventure with the University of Wyoming's Summer High School Institute. This three-week excursion on the verdant campus encourages scholarly exploration and personal growth. Participants experience a slice of college life that includes living in the dorms, engaging in academic and social events, and partaking in local community service activities. Each participant is immersed in a college-style curriculum comprising two classes—one touching upon physical and natural world concepts and the other delving into human culture. Both classes are designed to encourage learning for the sake of knowledge rather than the pressure of grades. The aim here is not just knowledge gain, but also self-discovery. Alongside these, students enjoy an hour of an enriching evening class to keep the intellect happily humming. Aside from classroom pursuits, the scholars' days are enriched with diverse activities like partaking in friendly dodgeball tournaments, listening to inspirational guest speakers, gaining from tailored workshops, and embarking on immersive field trips. Navigate around memorable on-campus sites including the Half Acre Gym, Coe Library, the Union, and the buzzy Washakie Dining hall. Rounding off this empowering opportunity is the chance to rub shoulders with University professors and HSI alumni. The experience aims to paint a realistic picture of college life, providing not just knowledge and fun, but forming dynamic connections that can aid students vastly in their future endeavors. The University of Wyoming’s Summer High School Institute is more than a trip - it’s a journey of transformation, a real-life sneak peek into the world of academia for your child.
