Academic Programs

There is no better way to develop a sense of confidence and personal accomplishment than to challenge yourself with an academic program that will broaden your horizon and expand your awareness. YLI’s academic programs challenge students to new levels of confidence emerging from a sense of learning, growing and belonging. Kids are taught through hands on activities, analyzing evidence and using the latest computer and digital technology.

YLI academic programs are designed to provide students unique and unsurpassed opportunities for personal growth, individual revelation and maturity, and the possibility to master new skills. Our programs demonstrate to students that they are individuals worth investing in and are people with an enlarged worldview who are not afraid to grow.

Working with hundreds of counselors and professionals across the state, YLI academic programs offers students a variety of learning experiences and the chance to interact with, and become friends with, other students, counselors and professionals from across the state.
