Description: Useful Education News, Tips and Resources for Parents and Students
I have been busy with my day job as managing editor of the Sonoma Index-Tribune and I have unfortunately neglected this blog! I am already getting lots of questions about summer programs so here are the 2019 listings and links. Some of these programs change their web site addresses annually. If the link I provide doesn’t work, don’t give up, just google the program name and let me know. If you would like me to delve into new areas, send me a request.
Free programs are great not only because they are free (!) but they tend also to be much more impressive to colleges (because they tend to be selective). The best ones (free and selective) require applications right now.
My rule of thumb for what constitutes a good value is a sleepaway/residential program that is FREE or less than $750/week… so I have about 30 here that are FREE and then the others are around $500 for the week (or less). I have tried to group them by category, please scroll to the very bottom to see them all. Comment with any that I might have missed. I apologize if any prices have changed since I gathered the data.
