Summer Discovery changes students’ lives.  We’re passionate about what we do and are building a team of innovative, collaborative people who want to both think and do while being a part of something special.  We’re the world’s most popular pre-college academic enrichment and gifted student program for ages 5 – 17.  We partner with world-class universities such as UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, Wharton, and Cambridge to run impactful programs where students learn, have fun, and thrive.  We also run exceptional programs for gifted, academically advanced, and creative learners through Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG).  

Our mission is to provide the best experiential, university-based summer academic programs that positively change the lives of students from around the world.  If you’d like to be part of a growing company with a start-up mindset, please reach out to us.
