Find your path! Since 2011, we’ve been helping high school students uncover their potential with Discover Summer Academy, led by experts in their fields, from AI to Medicine through Applied Arts.
DISCOVER IS...
A non-profit organization made up of volunteer organisers, tutors, students, and alumni.
You will find among us students and alumni from the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well as prestigious, world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard or Yale, or staff from NATO, the OECD, Google, NGOs, government offices and agencies or educational institutions.
DISCOVER SUMMER ACADEMY
5 life-changing holiday camps in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. During a one-week stay with 80 other high school students, you attend courses and workshops on topics that interest you, learn from the best tutors and have fun through self-growth-oriented activities. This can help you decide what university to apply to or what major is right for you. Discover tutors are often graduates of prestigious international universities in Europe and the USA and pass on their valuable know-how with passion for education. Learn more.
