Summer Academy Locations

On-campus Summer Academy has been postponed to summer 2021. You can experience the next best thing during summer 2020: the online Great Books Summer Seminars for High School Students.

Off-campus excursions enhance the Summer Academy experience and are often related to the academic work of the classroom. Time is scheduled for students to explore the vibrant waterfront of Annapolis, MD and the thriving art community of Santa Fe, NM.
