SSP’s mission is to inspire exceptionally talented and
motivated high school students to accelerate their intellectual and social
development. Our college-level, residential program immerses students in a
challenging science curriculum with team‐based, hands‐on research to solve a
central scientific problem. Since 1959, we have created a cultural environment
of excellence, collaboration, and creativity, and we push our students beyond
anything they have previously experienced. We measure our performance by the
number of alumni who look back at SSP as a formative experience and support the
program for future generations.
