Dive deep into your passions and turn your aspirations into reality with our academic immersion courses. Our instructors are experienced professionals who give students real-world insight into their field of interest: For example, learn law from an attorney who argued before the U.S. Supreme Court, take emergency medicine courses with ER doctors or build your writing portfolio under the guidance of a published journalist.

Please see here for full list of academic tracks: https://summerspringboard.com/teen-programs/
Each week day, students will spend the morning in their academic course. This will include class time, academics-related local field trips (ex. visiting a clinic or lab for medicine) and project time.
Beyond theory, students experience excursions and discover more about their career interests by hearing expert guest speakers firsthand. Past company visits included Google, Bloomberg, and the United Nations Foundation. Also, students have heard guest speakers representing Cisco, McKinsey & Co., and a startup founder. These professionals shared their personal stories about how they got to where they are today and offered career advice based on real-life experiences.

In general, students are directly supervised by Summer Springboard Program staff while they are in a class, lectures, field trips, or excursions by qualified Summer Springboard Campus Directors, Assistant Directors, Mentors, TAs and Resident Assistants. Our Campus Directors and Assistant Directors are educated professionals who hold degrees ranging from Bachelor to Masters and have extensive experience working with teens. Outside of these times, students independently manage themselves and enjoy the freedom to go anywhere within the pre-defined boundaries around the campus of the university. During such times it is especially important that the student respect the Summer Springboard Code of Conduct, safety rules and guidelines and exercise caution and good judgment in order to provide for his or her safety and well-being. During some excursions, students and staff may travel via public transportation. In these cases, Summer Springboard has no control over the operation of the local public transit system.
Staff undergo in-person and online trainings each year.
Every applicant to Summer Springboard and the applicant’s parent/guardian is required to review and sign Code of Conduct Agreement. Breaking the law or any of the rules & policies detailed in the Code of Conduct Agreement will result in immediate dismissal or probation at the discretion of the Summer Springboard staff. If you are on probation and you break another rule, you will be sent home immediately. Please review the Summer Springboard Code of Conduct form carefully.
Phones are allowed, but must be put away during class time and activities.
“Going to Summer Springboard is probably one of the best things I have done to date. I have met new people, strengthening my social skills and helping me adapt to new situations. I learned how college life could look like, and I got to experience it as a residential student living in a dorm. All of the mentors were really supportive (shout out to Fabiola) and I felt really happy with myself here. I would want to do Summer Springboard all over again. My life has been changed forever.
I had a lot of fun these past two weeks. This is my top school so it was really awesome to be able to experience what attending this university and college in general would be like. All the mentors and leaders were really fun and awesome, they were super approachable which made me feel really welcomed here. All the activities were great and I loved the weekend excursions. Overall I had a great experience at Summer Springboard!!
This program was so much fun! The mentors, staff, and other students were all so supportive and kind, I loved getting to know everyone. My class was seriously a blast and we had the best teacher ever. The campus is beautiful and I’m so glad I got this opportunity to explore Cal Poly because I would love to come here for college!
Summer Springboard is a program that allows you to experience discomfort for much needed growth. Being away from home, studying new topics and being around people from all over the world can all be uncomfortable. However, the program showed me that in order to accumulate growth you need to embark on new and uncomfortable experiences. Although, Summer Springboard made going on an unknown adventure and self discovery safe and secure!
