We recommend looking into Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies as an alternative. Pre-Collegiate Studies offers academic enrichment programs that take place during the summer. Their offerings may be browsed on their website. Their programs are typically a few weeks in length. Please note that programs offered by Pre-Collegiate Studies are not for credit.
