The Summer Academies at Penn Arts and Sciences High School Programs are intensive three-week courses that blend in-depth academic theory with practical applications. These academies are divided into two streams: science and social. The science academies leverage the University of Pennsylvania’s advanced technology and resources to offer state-of-the-art laboratory experiences. In contrast, the social academies utilize Philadelphia’s rich history and cultural diversity to provide a comprehensive sociological summer experience. The programs are conducted by University of Pennsylvania faculty and seasoned professionals in their respective fields, supported by graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants.
