Summer Program Directories: Online directories such as TeenLife, Summer Discovery, and Oxbridge Academic Programs are a few to offer comprehensive listings of summer programs for high school students. These directories allow you to search for programs based on various criteria, including location, academic focus, and duration. Reach out to your school counselor or teachers for guidance. They often have information about summer programs and can provide recommendations based on your interests and academic goals.
