The History of EPGY
Growing out of EPGY’s online course for gifted students in middle school and high school, EPGY Summer Institutes began in the summer of 2001 as The Summer Institute in Mathematics and Physics. Students studied these courses for two weeks on the Stanford campus.
The following summer the program was renamed as EPGY Summer Institutes to reflect newly added course opportunities like English classes and the duration of the camp was expanded to three weeks.
Gradually, EPGY Summer Institutes has expanded to include a variety of courses in subjects like computer science, business, science and engineering, math, and writing and humanities. Students from international locations have come to study at Stanford under EPGY.
Additionally, EPGY has added a middle school program for students in sixth through eighth grade.
