Live and study at prestigious American University of Paris, steps from iconic landmarks like the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. After breakfast, students dive into their major seminar, which begins in classrooms, labs, or meeting spaces, then often ventures out to local historical sites or museums, or includes visits from guest experts. After lunch taken independently in small peer groups, students head to their minor seminars or afternoon activities. Afternoons and evenings offer opportunities to explore the city, pursue their interests through elective workshops, and take part in exciting extracurricular activities. After dinner, students and faculty from all seminars convene for evening activities, which may include hearing a special guest speaker, taking in a play or concert, or attending a Q&A session on the college admissions process. Students spend a total of 30 hours in their major seminars and 10 hours in their minors, and receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the program.

Putney and the Columbia Climate School have collaborated to offer interdisciplinary summer programs for high school students focused on addressing the climate crisis. Students engage with Columbia University faculty, researchers, and staff to learn how scientists are tackling climate change through cutting-edge research, education, and solutions-oriented projects. The Climate School will ensure that students are equipped with the knowledge and tools to be climate leaders in the 21st century.

The NextGen Leadership Institute places academics at the center of a New York City summer. Choose one of three tracks that align with your interests: STEMinist, Writing and Literature, or Global Humanities. In small classes taught by expert instructors and Barnard faculty, you will analyze texts, conduct experiments, draft original work, and connect theory to practice through curated NYC learning experiences such as museum study, guest talks, and site visits. Your academic schedule is paired with our weekly Leadership in Action series, which introduces practical tools for working with others and thinking strategically. By the end, you will have sharpened your academic skills, and built a toolkit you can use in school and beyond.

This program examines the interplay of science, medicine, and the experience of health and illness by way of epistemological questions—“How do we know what we know?”—to appreciate not only what becomes defined and recognized as a disease, but the power relationships that produce these effects. This program takes up current and historical examples to interrogate how the benefits of advances in science and medicine remain unequally shared, while exploring critical tools social scientists have offered as possible interventions.

This summer, Stamps will host three sessions of our Portfolio Prep program, including virtual and residential options. Each session is a studio experience for current high school students (grades 9 – 11).

The very name, Colorado, invokes contrast and ecological, geological, and climatological diversity. The defining landscape patterns that emerge are interwoven and complex. This class is an invitation to experience and explore the rich natural history of the Pike’s Peak Region, from the eastern plains to the alpine meadows. On a large scale, the landscape is dominated by mountains and vast horizons. But to get to know the distinctiveness of Colorado, we must get to know the micro scale. This field-focused class will define climate zones in the Pike’s Peak Region: from grasslands to woodlands to montane to subalpine to alpine. We will journey together from eastern El Paso County to the top of Pikes Peak and the Continental Divide. Along the way, we will learn how to visually map the geology, ecology, and microclimates in which we live.

An exciting summer camp experience full of science, engineering and math awesomeness, with STEM opportunities that allow high school juniors or seniors to reach into robotics, or do cool things like brew biodiesel or make a machine from scratch.

Advanced Studio Concepts gives students the opportunity for a focused studio experience that reflects the dynamic environment of MIAD's First-Year Experience. Students are challenged to ask deep questions about the nature of contemporary art and design, media, materials, influences and processes. Students craft answers that they feel are important to their visual identity and focus on new ways of seeing, thinking, creating and communicating. Inquiry and research-based modes of teaching help students connect and contextualize the work they create.

Spend a week at Saint Mary’s College exploring the world of community organizing, politics, and leadership through our Dialogue and Democracy Summer Institute—an overnight program for high school girls who want to lead change and constructively use their voice for good. Ever wonder what it takes to argue a case, influence a policy, or change the conversation? At Dialogue and Democracy, you’ll learn how to use your voice to make things happen. Campers will learn the building blocks for constructive dialogue, develop skills for effective communication, and practice exercising these skills with peers and members of the local community. Campers will also get a taste of what a career in politics and community leadership is like. During the week, campers will work closely with Saint Mary’s students and professors as they develop and refine their dialogue skills, engage in hands-on learning, and build relationships with peers. Campers will also experience what campus life is like at Saint Mary’s College as they sleep in dorms, eat in the dining hall, and attend sessions in campus classrooms.

Do you have a passion for helping and caring for others? This week-long overnight program is designed for high school girls interested in a career in the health sciences industry. Campers will get hands-on experience working in the College’s state-of-the-art healthcare simulation lab, as well as have the opportunity to tour South Bend’s Memorial Hospital and have a chance to learn from the MedFlight Emergency Transport team. Campers will also work with the American Red Cross to become CPR certified. During the week, campers will work closely with Saint Mary’s students and professors as they begin their training in the health science field. Lessons and guest speakers will cover a range of topics across all areas of the industry, allowing campers to explore a variety of healthcare careers.
