The college preparatory program is rigorous, and has developed some of the nation’s leading minds in their journeys toward higher education. While in residence, participants receive five weeks of intense instruction in university-level courses. The 2007 Institute offered academies in business, leadership and pre-med neuroscience, and curriculum has recently been expanded to enrich the academic programs like The Argumentative Essay, Business Marketing Strategies, Biological Engineering and more.

From 1988 to the present, we have maintained statistical data in such areas as student participants’ academic-achievement records and leadership activities. It is clear from the data, as well as from reports from students, parents, educators, and community leaders that the Institute is successfully preparing the quality of minds and character that will be needed in the new century. We find that young scholars, after attending the Institute, often move on with higher expectations for themselves; have a more informed world view; and have a commitment to engage their talents in the study of complex problems and in improving the lives of others.

That’s why the Institute’s faculty and staff, students and parents, board of directors is deeply grateful for the generous gifts provided by Allyn and Bacon Publishing Company, McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, The Prudential Foundation, Public Service Electric and Gas Company, Shell Oil Company Foundation, The Wight Foundation, and the Victoria Foundation.
