The College of the Canyons Summer Institute is open to students entering grades 6-8 in the fall of 2021.

There is no other place in the Santa Clarita Valley for students to get this type of experience.”

All Summer Institute instructors are COC professors or industry professionals that have tailored their curriculum for grades 6-8 in mind.

Each track allows participating students to discover a multitude of career possibilities through a unique blend of innovative lesson plans and fun hands-on activities that are scheduled each week.
