GHP is a residential, four-week program for gifted and talented high school students who will be rising juniors and seniors this summer. GHP will take place June 14 – July 11, 2020, at Berry College in Rome, Ga. The program offers instruction that is significantly different from the typical high school classroom. It is designed to provide students with academic, cultural and social enrichment necessary to become the next generation of global critical thinkers, innovators and leaders. Participants attend classes in the mornings and afternoons in specific areas of study and enjoy a variety of social and instructional opportunities every evening.
GHP began in 1964 and the 2020 program will be the 57th summer, making it the longest continually running program of its kind in the nation. Fully funded by the Georgia General Assembly, it is free of charge to participants.
