Education Program for Gifted Youth


The EPGY Summer Institutes are two-to-four-week residential programs 

for academically talented and motivated middle and high-school 

students. The Summer Institutes provide an opportunity for these 

students to pursue their intellectual curiosity and meet others who 

share their interests and abilities. Participants are enrolled in a single 

intensive-study course, taught by a Stanford instructor, and covering 

topics not typically presented at their grade level.


Summer Institutes High School Program (Ages 13 - 17)
The Summer Institutes High School Program consists of two sessions at Stanford 
in grades 8-11. Subject areas include bioscience, business, computer science, 
countries and 49 states, and students leave with a sense of academic accomplishment, engineering, humanities, University for students legal studies, mathematics, physical 
science, and writing. Past EPGY Summer Institutes participants have come from 60 
new friends, and fond memories of a wonderful time spent at Stanford University.

Summer Institutes Middle School Program (Ages 11 - 13)
The EPGY Summer Institutes Middle School Program consists of three two-week 
sessions at Stanford University for students in grades 6 and 7. Similar to the High 
School Program, this program provides academic enrichment, a taste of college life at 
Stanford, and the opportunity to meet others with similar interests and abilities. 
However, students are housed by gender, rather than subject area, and the 
courses are designed specifically for academically talented and motivated 
middle-school students.
