The intensive six -
week summer program for rising seventh, eighth, and
ninth graders is a key component of Summerbridge's effort to ensure students are receiving academically rigorous instruction
through middle school and upon entering their first year of high school.
In the spring, six
weeks of the course are dedicated to the
ninth grade Capstone Project, which is designed to help students grow in their ability to collaborate, solve problems, think creatively, manage time effectively, and present persuasively
through working with a small team of students on a topic of their own choosing.
