UNLV SAGE ACADEMY
Monday, July 13-Friday, July 31, 2009
The SAGE Academy is celebrating its 5th Anniversary in Summer 2009! Since 2004, we have offered summer classes designed especially for Clark County’s gifted high school students, taught by instructors with degrees from prestigious universities selected for their special skills in teaching gifted populations.
SAGE students earn 3 college credits as well as high school enrichment credit. Students read the most recent literature in their fields, make friends with gifted peers across the Vegas Valley and beyond, learn valuable study habits and independently research selected topics, all mentored by faculty instructors.
