The Summer Institute for Secondary School Teachers is an intense enrichment opportunity for those who teach secondary school students. Classes, limited to 15 to 20 participants each, are taught by Lawrence University faculty, who also assist the participants with the development of curricula and materials appropriate to individual needs and interests. Special workshops are also held with experienced teachers from secondary schools.
Courses include advanced content that virtually any teacher will find valuable. The mathematics course, AP Calculus, is specifically focused on the AP curriculum.

Course Credit
Four or six units of graduate credit are available (equivalent to two or three semester hours). Both the four- and six-unit options meet all day Monday through Thursday and until noon on Friday. The six-credit option requires an additional paper or project that is completed and returned after the Summer Institute concludes. Lawrence, itself, does not offer graduate degrees, so the acceptability of the credits toward a graduate degree is at the discretion of the institution granting the degree. Lawrence is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Facilities
Participants are housed on the Lawrence campus and have access to various college resources, including the Seeley G. Mudd Library, science laboratories, computers, and the Buchanan Kiewit Recreation Center with its swimming pool, racquetball courts, and weight-training equipment.
