Primary instructors have full responsibility for teaching part or all of
a course in the Immersion or Summer Online programs for pre-college
(academically advanced high school) students, developed in collaboration
with the Summer Session Office. These are graded courses designed
specifically for academically advanced high school students ready to
tackle UChicago undergraduate-level material and assignments, and
feature both traditional (e.g., lecture, discussion) and experiential
(e.g., labs, field trips) learning activities.
Courses are taught in one of two formats:
- An intensive three-week format (June 17-July 5 or July 10-26, 2024)
that meets in-person Monday through Friday, from 9am to 3pm, with a
lunch break from 11:30am to 1pm.
- An intensive five-week format (July 10-August 9, 2024) that is
remotely taught, with synchronous class sessions held Monday through
Friday, for two hours in the morning or evening, plus additional
morning and afternoon discussion or lab sections, and asynchronous
materials such as pre-recorded lectures made available via Canvas.
