Summer School

Whether your goal is to pursue your interests, develop new interests, maintain or build your skills, we are pleased that you are considering our summer program. The committed faculty and staff have added and maintained programs to assist you in meeting your goals.

While enrollment for The University of Chicago Laboratory Summer School Program is open to all students, it is guided by the mission statement and philosophy of The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools.

The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools provide an experience-centered, rigorous and well-rounded education for a diverse community. Recognizing that students have a variety of needs at each developmental stage and learn in different ways, the Schools are committed to helping each student:

• learn to think critically and creatively

• cultivate a passion for excellence in academics, the arts, and athletics

• master important subject matter

• achieve a sense of emotional and physical well-being

• celebrate our cultural differences and our common humanity

• gain a sense of personal and community responsibility

• develop a life-long love of learning

In pursuit of this mission and in keeping with John Dewey's legacy, The Schools strive to exemplify educational practice at its best.

On behalf of our faculty and staff, I hope you will consider joining us.

Cecilia Mullon
Summer School, Director
