Summer Springboard
Humanities & Liberal Arts
ACADEMIC TRACK
About This Track
Summer Springboard’s Humanities & Liberal Arts track empowers high school students to build a strong foundation in critical thinking, cultural understanding, and effective written and verbal expression.
Through courses like Communication & Society, participants are guided in unpacking pressing social themes—think race, gender, culture, diversity, and conflict resolution—through discussion, writing, and presentations. These experiences cultivate emotional intelligence, social awareness, and the ability to advocate with clarity and confidence.
Designed to enrich nearly any career path, this track hones transferable skills essential across professions—whether you’re headed into engineering, nursing, business, education, or beyond. Students emerge more articulate, thoughtful, and ready to engage with the complexities of the world around them.
With its emphasis on empathy, communication, and cultural literacy, this track sharpens not just academic prowess but also personal awareness and global perspective.
Courses In This Track
