Summer Learning Reimagined
The Pacific Summer High School Institute is a two-week residential pre-college summer program designed for curious high school students to live, learn and grow at one of America’s top universities. During the program, summer institute students become immersed in cutting-edge topics and issues through learning environments focused on real-world, hands-on experiences in our labs, studios, fields and makerspaces. In short, Pacific Institute students experience college firsthand.
In the summer of 2026, the Pacific Summer High School Institute will run for two program sessions. The first session starts on June 1 and concludes on June 11, while the second session goes from June 16 until June 26.
Registration for both sessions opens at midnight on November 1st, 2025.
