Students complete one course and make fabulous friends! Students enroll in one course for three weeks of intense and demanding study.
NSU's ADVANCE Program for Young Scholars (ADVANCE) is a three-week summer residential program program that offers challenging classes for gifted students currently in grades 7 through 11. This is the official page for ADVANCE, at Northwestern State University (NSU) in Natchitoches, Louisiana. ADVANCE offers residential program for gifted youth in the state of Louisiana that is affiliated with Duke University’s Talent Identification Program (TIP). ADVANCE is a three-week residential program that offers a challenging and rewarding curriculum for gifted students entering grades 8 through 12 next fall. By bringing together academically talented students, ADVANCE is able to offer a unique educational experience, one geared both to the students’ high abilities and to their need for peers who share their academic abilities and their love of learning. Courses have approximately 15 students and are taught by a diverse and talented group of highly qualified Instructor-Teaching Assistant (TA) teams. These teaching teams are committed to inspiring and challenging their students and to providing an exceptional educational experience. The residential life portion of ADVANCE is vital to the program, offering balanced recreational and social activities to complement the intensive academic curriculum. ADVANCE has built up a host of traditions and a strong community of staff and students that keep ADVANCErs returning year after year. In short, the ADVANCE Program provides everything gifted students could want in a summer experience: an intellectually challenging curriculum that stretches their academic capabilities; the chance to live and interact with peers of similar abilities and interests; and the opportunity to just have fun with other kids during summer break.
