Summer Enrichment Programs

The College of William and Mary - Saturday and Summer Enrichment Programs
The Center for Gifted Education provides unique opportunities for high ability students to attend Saturday and Summer enrichment courses on the campus of The College of William and Mary. The Saturday and Summer Programs are targeted for students currently in Kindergarten through Grade 9.
The programs recognize the importance of allowing able youngsters to explore specialized areas of science, mathematics, and the arts and humanities. The program does not take the place of the regular school curriculum. Behaviors fostered by the enrichment program include students' abilities to apply process skills used in individual fields of inquiry, to recognize problems and approaches to problem-solving, to understand and appreciate individual differences, and to become self-directed learners. The cost for the summer sessions is $220 per course. Some courses may incur an additional materials charge. Students will be able to enroll in up to 4 different classes across the two sessions.
