This program will be the first time away from home for many young learners, and it is a new and exciting experience both in and out of the classroom. Students at this age especially enjoy the novelty of having just one class with motivated classmates in a subject area they love, and they quickly recognize they have entered a new world of learning possibilities.
Our philosophy is that students in the intermediate years need to learn about the many different avenues open to their curious minds. The classes are fast-paced and cover a great amount of material. Having a week of classes devoted to the same topic guarantees that students will have a good knowledge of the subject and a basis for further independent study.
YSSP classes are limited to 16 students per class, and designed to enrich learning and introduce new disciplines. YSSP is designed to help students expand their knowledge about the world and to discover how much there is to learn. They will also know that there are others their age with similar interests and a similar passion for learning.
The historic buildings of Beloit College, Wisconsin's oldest college in continuous service, surround park-like open spaces and the dorms and commons are convenient to all classroom buildings and recreational facilities.
