School Notes:
- The Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG) began in 1984 with a single session in New Jersey, and has expanded over the past twenty-one summers to include nine residential sessions in six states and four day programs. In 2004 we served almost sixteen hundred academically gifted students in Kindergarten through 11th grade.
- SIG provides academically advanced students with an exciting and challenging educational experience. The program combines remarkable academic courses with cultural, social, and recreational opportunities. The academic program is central to the design and purpose of SIG.
- The richness of a broad range of geographical, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, the stimulation created by talented and intellectually engaged students working and playing together, the depth and diversity of the SIG faculty and staff, and the beautiful and well equipped college campus environments create a perfect atmosphere for learning, growing and accomplishing meaningful goals.
- Amherst College, one of the top ranked liberal arts colleges, occupies a spacious 1,000-acre campus in the Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts. The academic and residential buildings stand atop a hill that offers sweeping views of the Holyoke Range and of the town of Amherst. The New England spirit is evident here.
- Academic Program Instructional courses cover humanities, sciences and mathematics, visual and performing arts, and fitness and recreation. Some courses fall under the category of “multidisciplinary” and involve students in learning experiences that cross traditional boundaries of study. Each student also has the opportunity to take visual and performing arts courses. All sports and recreation courses involve instruction, and some, such as Fencing and Tennis, have beginning and advanced levels.
