The Summer High School Institute is an attitude-a state of mind. It is the excitement of learning-learning in its fullest sense. It is creative, energetic, difficult and challenging. It is exhilaration-it is fun! |
The
MISSION of the Summer High School Institute is
to provide a place where some of the state's most intellectually talented
sophomores could gather before their junior and senior years, living and
studying in an environment with no pressure for grades, and sharing ideas
and friendship with other gifted students. The PRIMARY PURPOSE of the program is to draw talented high school sophomore students to the university for an intensive examination of unanswered questions and unresolved challenges. Among the areas that will be probed are: world hunger, plants and people, knights and cowboys, drama, ethics and society, communicating with computers, understanding cultural development, pharmacy, and the links between life and the arts. The GOAL is not to require students to learn another body of knowledge and pass yet another test. It is, rather to challenge imaginations, focus diverse disciplines on specific issues or problems, and integrate various individual talents into a larger perspective. In the process we hope to help selected high school students achieve their academic and personal potential by cultivating their leadership capabilities; to expanding their horizons, developing their adaptability, creativity, and critical thinking abilities, and to heighten their sensitivity to future possibilities for themselves, Wyoming society; and to stimulate and reward excellence in Wyoming schools. |
