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. Our committed faculty and staff have added new, and enhanced existing programs, to assist all students in meeting their goals.

While Summer School at Lab is guided by the mission statement and philosophy of the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, enrollment is open to all students. The continuing challenge to which our distinguished faculty members rise each and every summer is to keep their material fresh, relevant, and truly engaging for their students. Their ability to do so is one key element — among many — that sets Summer School at Summer Lab apart.

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
