Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies

Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies advances the education of academically talented, intellectually curious, pre-college students worldwide. We offer a variety of programs designed to meet the needs of top students everywhere, ranging from a fully accredited Online High School to residential summer programs that let high school students become a Stanford University student for the summer or that let them dive deeply into their passions, to classes offered online and in-person throughout the year.

Our students are adventurous, highly motivated, and passionate in their desire to come together and deepen their learning. While exploring new subjects and making friendships to last a lifetime, they will gain new insights into themselves and what really motivates them. With participation from every state and over 60 countries, our programs draw from the best and the brightest around the world.

Our instructors are expert in their fields and committed to sharing their love and interest in their subject with students who remind them of themselves. Their enthusiasm is infectious; their teaching is transformational.
