Summer Institute

The Onward 2 High School (O2HS) program, an initiative of the John H. and Cynthia Lee Smet Foundation, is a bridge program designed to prepare middle school students for high school, college, and beyond. Each year, O2HS hosts the Summer Institute, a three-week, STEAM-based program where rising 7th and 8th graders participate in hands-on projects, enjoy exciting field trips, learn from guest speakers, and make new friends.
