Summer is a great time for students to further their education and experiences. It is a time to recharge and gear up for next year, but summer also provides valuable time to have meaningful experiences that can help build knowledge, character, and many other skills that are necessary to succeed in college and in life.
The St. Dominic Savio College Counseling office encourages all our students to take a close look at the programs listed below or create an individualized program with the help of the counseling office.
DO NOT forget about finding a summer job. Summer jobs are great ways to further develop specific interests or helping to have new experiences that require stepping out of comfort zones providing invaluable growth opportunities.
Below are Summer Educational Opportunity options for students. They are divided into three categories. The first category is specific opportunities that have been sent to the Office of College Planning at St. Dominic Savio. The second category is links to summer programs at specific colleges/universities. The third category is links to summer opportunity searches and other specific programs not affiliated with a college or university.
