SUMMER CHALLENGE

Summer Challenge is an academically advanced summer program for children who will have completed the 5th or 6th grade. The program provides motivated students with an intensive, hands-on, fun, and educational experience in areas outside of the traditional school curriculum. There are no tests, students are not graded, and there is little homework; it’s all about delving deeply into a subject of interest.  

The Challenge 2024 program begins on July 8th and ends on July 26th. The program runs for three weeks, five days a week from 9:00 AM to 2:20 PM. Classes are held in person at the University of Washington Seattle campus.
