The Summer Institute consists of numerous academies for Pre-Scholars, who are rising 8th and rising 9th graders, and Scholars, who are rising 10th, rising 11th and rising 12th graders. Pre-Scholars participate in one of two academies, the Junior Achievers Academy (for rising 8th graders) or the Fellows Academy (for rising 9th graders). These pre-scholars receive four weeks of instruction. Classes meet Monday through Thursday, with each class meeting every day for 75 minutes. Students are in class from about 8:30am to 4:00pm. Fridays are reserved for field trips. Weekends consist of free-time, recreational activities and guest lectures.
