Are you looking for something exciting and challenging to do this summer? Maybe you should consider the Elmhurst College Summer Academy in Mathematics and Science. The Academy (held traditionally in July) is an exceptional two-week residential program for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors who want to expand their horizons and explore math and science topics with college professors at one of the best colleges in the Midwest. For two weeks, you will stay on Elmhurst College's gorgeous campus, while taking classes and seminars to sharpen your math skills, explore important topics in science, and master a variety of computer programs.
