Summer DiscoveryReviews of summerdiscovery.com

It was very fun and rewarding experience! I learned a lot during the classes, and made friends for life. I loved the evening activities, and the freedom we were given to relax during the day.

More than I expected it would be!!!

The campus was wonderful. The food was abundant. The course was a unique experience and provided lots of challenge. The final presentation was a great way to put the learning into practice, do research and teach classmates. The website is not straightforward but the SummerDiscovery team answers emails from parents really promptly.

Truly the best summer of my life, not even in a corny way. Met so many amazing people and had the time of my life and discovered something about who I am. Recommend strongly.

Teachers and actual course material were great. Camp advisor didn’t handle issues between students well and many students went home feeling upset because of that. RC’s were very helpful and kind.

My child shared that the teacher spent a significant portion of the class playing videos, with relatively little direct instruction or interaction. As a result, the lessons felt monotonous and it was difficult to stay engaged. Overall, the learning experience did not meet our expectations. My child felt that they did not gain the knowledge and skills they had hoped to learn from the course. We hope the school can provide more teacher-led instruction, classroom interaction, and hands-on learning activities in the future.

My son attended the Summer Discovery program at UCLA, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The entire experience was incredibly well organized from start to finish. From the first phone call to get information, to the registration process, check-in, check-out, and every detail in between, everything was smooth, seamless, and professionally managed. The instructor was outstanding. It was clear they were an expert in their field, but what impressed us even more was their ability to truly engage the students. They sparked genuine curiosity, made the subject exciting, and inspired the students to learn. My son came home talking enthusiastically about what he had learned, which says a lot. The activities outside of class were another highlight. They struck the perfect balance between fun and educational, giving students opportunities to experience campus life while continuing to learn and grow. Perhaps the most valuable part of the program was the people. My son made wonderful friends from across the United States and around the world in just two weeks. He was also inspired by the successful guest speakers and mentors he met throughout the program. The connections he built—with both his peers and his instructor—made the experience even more meaningful. Summer Discovery provided much more than an academic program; it gave my son confidence, lasting friendships, valuable mentorship, and memories he’ll carry with him for years. We are so grateful for this incredible experience and highly recommend it to any family considering the program.

The social aspect and experience was good, the academics was lacking which was the primary purpose for us to choose this program. My daughter's class was in the same building as her dorm room , so she didn't event get the experience of having to get to class.
