Penn SAS High School Programs has collaborated with Summer Discovery for over 10 years. Summer Discovery oversees some administrative aspects of the program for admitted students. The University of Pennsylvania manages all academic programming, including the application process, advising, and course enrollment. While the Penn SAS High School Programs office and Summer Discovery are experts in different areas of summer programming, we work together as a cohesive team to provide the best possible summer experience for each student.
For students in online summer programs, you are encouraged to devote your full attention to the program to make the most of the experience, but you are in charge of your own time management. While online academies may only meet synchronously for two hours a day, each day will have roughly four to six additional hours of asynchronous material for you to review and interact with.
Financial aid is not available for our programs. You can use 529 college savings plan accounts to pay for the programs, but high school students participating in our programs are non-degree seeking and do not qualify for traditional financial aid through FAFSA.

If you would like to enroll in an online academy you need to complete this survey. We will then switch your application to the online academy that you selected in the survey, issue you an admissions letter, and then turn on your ability to accept and deposit for the online academy. This process can take up to two weeks, but you will receive confirmation once your survey has been processed.
