Summer 2027 Planning: Choosing the Right Programs and Activities

Thursday, October 15 | 6:00 - 7:00 PM PT | Zoom Webinar

Add to calendar:
A practical guide to choosing the right programs, activities, and priorities for Summer 2027.

A strong summer plan starts well before school lets out. Many competitive programs, research opportunities, internships, and academic options open applications months in advance.

Join us for a practical Summer 2027 planning webinar designed to help families understand how summer priorities shift from middle school through high school. We’ll cover how to compare different opportunities, decide what makes sense for your student, and create a balanced plan around their interests, goals, and schedule.

What You'll Learn
  • What Matters at Each Stage: How summer priorities change as students move from middle school through high school
  • Academics and Test Preparation: When summer courses, AP preparation, college-level classes, or SAT/ACT study make sense
  • Choosing the Right Programs: How to evaluate academic programs, research opportunities, internships, and experiential learning based on fit, not simply prestige
  • Building Outside the Classroom: How to decide among passion projects, competitions, volunteering, internships, and independent research
  • Creating a Cohesive Student Profile: How summer experiences can demonstrate sustained interests, personal growth, initiative, and impact
  • Planning Ahead: A practical timeline for researching opportunities, preparing applications, and meeting important deadlines

The goal isn’t to fill every week of the summer. It’s to choose experiences that are meaningful, leave room for balance, and help your student continue exploring who they are and where they want to go.
