Welcome to a world of discovery…a world of literature, philosophy, great books, and big ideas. Discussion and fun!
For twenty-two years, outstanding students have come together at some of the world’s most prestigious universities for the Great Books Summer Program. Led by top professors and distinguished educators and scholars, our students spend their days enjoying the kind of intellectual experience most can only dream of during the school year.
A chiefly residential program with some day and online program sessions, Great Books gives middle and high school students a taste of the university experience in a welcoming, safe, fun, and supervised environment. They’ll be part of an international learning community enjoying a challenging curriculum, arts and literature electives, and social activities outside of class.
GBSP is a world of literature, thinking and discussion, writing, and fun. With residential and day programs on campuses and online every summer as well as year-round special sessions, we’ve got something for everyone in rising grades 6-8 and grades 9-12. Read, think, write, and explore with us! Unique programs for adults too!
