A Day in the Life at Summer Springboard
One of the greatest benefits of choosing a Summer Springboard university immersion program is that you’ll be among many American teens on campus. Unlike many other programs that cater to European students in the USA, you won’t be isolated among only international students. Though of course you will be meeting plenty of other students from outside the United States as well.
There’s a reason some of the most popular courses at leading U.S. institutions, focus on happiness and crafting a fulfilling life. Hungry to learn how to be their best selves, students seek out the knowledge and insights they need as they set out on their own personal life journeys.
Our summer program is designed to provide teenagers with tools that can help make that happen, in uni and beyond.
With Summer Springboard, you won’t sit in a lecture hall all day. Our summer programs blend a rich academic curriculum with dynamic workshops and projects that foster self-discovery.
Below, check out our sample schedule to get an idea of what a day in the life of a Summer Springboard student looks like at one of our two-week program locations.
Please note that our programs hosted at Yale University and Oxford in the United Kingdom combine multiple week-long experiences and have a different schedule than our classic two-week programs.
