Students earn 3 college credits and a potential $1,000 annual tuition grant to Temple University upon successful completion of the program.
The Temple Summer Academy is an academically rigorous four-week pre-college program designed for rising high school juniors and seniors. Students engage in a blend of college-level academics and experiential learning on Temple University's Main Campus. Participants take one three-credit college course, fulfilling a General Education requirement, and two non-credit workshops, allowing them to explore various academic fields and potential majors. The program emphasizes project-based learning, interactive class sessions, and opportunities for individual and group work. Students gain valuable college credits, develop time management and critical thinking skills, and receive a $1,000 per year tuition grant if they later enroll at Temple University and maintain academic standards. The program also fosters independence and community building through campus activities and field trips.
A typical day includes a college course in the morning (10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.), followed by lunch, a college readiness seminar, and an afternoon workshop (2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.), concluding with an optional study hour with Pre-College Mentors.
This program is best for rising high school juniors and seniors who want to experience college academics and campus life, explore potential majors, and earn college credit.
