How much supervision is there?
Program Assistants supervise students for the entire stay and are each assigned to lead a “pod” made up of 6-8 students. In addition, adult faculty and staff members reside in the dorms and are present at discussions, meals, and activities throughout the day. All students are required to stay within the safety of the supervised group. Employees of Great Books Summer Program go through a rigorous personal background check. Participants in our Senior Program (entering grades 9-12), enjoy more freedom to explore the towns of Amherst and Palo Alto, take field trips and use the athletic facilities with their Program Assistant. Lights out for the Senior Program is 11 pm and students have free time each evening in the dorm lounges.
