Geneseo Summer Academy is a one-week residential program for high school students who want to prepare for college, explore academic interests, and gain real college experience. Students will live in dorms, eat in dining halls, and participate in hands-on learning led by Geneseo’s expert faculty.

Through four interdisciplinary tracks, students will dive into topics like the subatomic world, gender & culture change, dance, and how technology impacts who we are. Small class sizes and interactive workshops allow for personalized learning and leadership development.

This summer's topics include:

• Bodies in Motion: Creativity, Culture, and Connection
• Discovering the Subatomic World
• Power Play: Gender, Identity, and Cultural Change
• TechnoEthics: How Our Tools Make Us

This program helps students stand out in college applications by offering college-level academic experiences, networking opportunities, and a deeper understanding of life at a nationally recognized public honors college.

When registering, choose the topic you would like to explore.
