What is CTY?

CTY is the leader in educating the world's most academically advanced elementary, middle, and high school students. More than a traditional summer camp, it combines research-based, rigorous academics with a fun, engaging peer community. CTY’s three-week summer courses bring together advanced learners from around the world to explore fascinating subjects—from science and engineering, to mathematics, robotics and technology, and language arts—all while fostering friendships, building confidence, and cultivating a lifelong love of discovery. Students also enjoy frequent breaks to recharge and play outdoors, and lunch is included.
