Carleton Summer Liberal Arts Institute
Live and learn like a college student for 3 weeks this summer at Carleton College’s Summer Liberal Arts Institute (SLAI). SLAI is an immersive summer learning experience for current 10th and 11th graders to explore liberal arts through rigorous and experiential curriculum. If you are academically curious, excited about learning, and thrive in collaborative work environments, SLAI is the program for you!
At SLAI, you will connect with like-minded peers from all over the nation and world, all while earning college credit and learning from top-ranked Carleton faculty, who are experts in their field. Choose from 6 programs, with topics in: History & Literature, Storytelling, Sociology, STEM, Computer Science, Neuroscience, and more.
Students who attend SLAI come away from the program with improved college-level reading, writing, and research skills, an increased knowledge of topics and majors they may want to study in the future, and a general sense of preparedness for college.
During the program, students spend their mornings and afternoons in class, conducting research, and in hands-on labs. After class, a variety of social activities are available everyday, from frisbee to beading to making s’mores. Weekend field trips to attractions in surrounding cities are also included in the program. Past destinations have included amusement parks, museums, or even a day at the lake!
