[quote=Anonymous]My teen is doing a few short programs and did one last year. I think I’ve looked at almost all the programs out there - this is what I look for -

- one of the really competitive and known programs which will help with admissions (the one at MIT, etc - most are STEM oriented), my kid wasn’t going to be getting into any of these so we moved to other categories

- reasonably priced - I like the programs that seem like they are about selling the school and program a little bit, so often not at the most prestigious schools. These tend to be smaller programs concentrated in one or a few subject areas, not a massive summer program. They cost in the 1000-1500/week range which seems reasonable. They seem like they are using the money to fund the program, not a massive profit center for the school.

- they are run by the school and have faculty who teach at the school and identify the faculty in the marketing materials

- are more like a full program, all day with evening activities related to the program, not just a random class or two during the day and living in the dorm [/quote]
