Our mission is to help pre-college students increase their self-awareness so they can make decisions about college selection, academic majors, and careers that reflect their personal vision for success.
At Summer Springboard, we believe learning should be inspiring and interactive. We have worked hard to design courses, field trips, and guest lectures that reflect the unique resources of Vanderbilt University’s campus and the vibrant city of Nashville.
Whenever possible, classes are held outdoors, on-site, or in lab-style settings to provide students with as many hands-on opportunities as possible. Field trips and guest speakers take the learning experience beyond the classroom and make the most of everything Nashville has to offer.
In addition to our morning academic courses, students spend the afternoons in skill labs working on hands-on projects or attending academic excursions that connect them with real-world professionals in their fields of interest. Students also participate in recreational activities, fostering a supportive, fun, and enriching summer experience.
