Junior Scholars Institute
<p>The Belin-Blank Center specializes in academically talented kids. If you have 6<sup>th</sup>-8<sup>th</sup> grade students who show a deep curiosity when a topic sparks their interest, a love of learning, or a particular talent in an area, they will feel right at home in our <a href="https://goo.gl/T6LLLr">Junior Scholars Institute (JSI)</a>! JSI is a summer program designed specifically for bright students who want to take a deep dive into a topic - all while having fun with other middle school kids who share their level of interest and ability. </p><p>Students get to choose one class to focus on all day, for a full week – and these aren’t regular classes! With options like Archaeology, Women in Engineering, Mixed Media Art, Leadership for Students Who Want to Make a Difference, Robot Theater (and more!), there’s sure to be something for your inquisitive kids. Class sizes are small, and they take place on the University of Iowa campus, giving students access to valuable university-level resources and experts. </p><p>JSI students also get to experience a taste of college life by staying overnight in the dorm with their peers for the week! Plus, they get to hang out with their new friends and attend plenty of fun cultural and recreational activities in the evenings.</p><p>We understand that many bright students may also have a disability or impairment that can present behavioral, emotional, social, or learning challenges. Our experts in twice-exceptionality offer specialized social and academic support for these students.</p><p><strong>Participation in your school's talented and gifted program is not required. </strong>Payment plans and financial aid are available. If you think JSI sounds like a good fit for any of your students, be sure to recommend that they check it out at <a href="https://goo.gl/Kfk7d8">www.belinblank.org/summer</a> or contact <a href="mailto:summer@belinblank.org" title="mailto:summer@belinblank.org">summer@belinblank.org</a>!</p> 2019-06-20 16:00:00 -0500
