Why Choose Our Summer Programs?

The Davidson Institute developed THINK in 2004 to offer a unique and challenging summer opportunity to highly motivated, gifted students. Since that time, the interest in summer programming for gifted youth has grown, allowing us to expand and offer three different opportunities: STARS, REACH, and THINK. We collaborated with the University of Nevada, Reno (home of the Davidson Academy), so students can have access to university resources and gain experience living on campus.

While each program offers unique experiences, they all share common goals and opportunities:

Connect

Meet intellectual peers from all over the country

Challenge

Participate in new, ambitious academic topics and activities

Grow

Build independence through a short stay away from home

Explore

Discover the University of Nevada, Reno campus and the Davidson Academy

Support

Count on our team to develop programming with profoundly gifted students’ needs as the focus
