With the Summer Academy you'll enroll in a Calvin summer class—chosen from the hard sciences, social sciences and writing—to earn college credit while getting a preview of college life.

You have the opportunity to test your study skills—with the benefit of tutors—and have full access to the library, dining halls, music studios, computer labs and state-of-the-art field house complex and other campus facilities.

And, get introduced to the fun side of college life:

  • making friends,
  • eating in campus dining halls,
  • playing basketball, Frisbee golf and soccer,
  • enjoying service learning activities and worship at local churches.

At the Summer Academy, you can explore your individual gifts and your readiness for college.

International students attending U.S. high schools are welcome to apply.

The Academic Content Experience (ACE) International program allows international students to be immersed in American culture while offering the opportunity to take academic courses and improve their English speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills through course content.

You'll be challenged academically and supported in your studies by caring Calvin professors and tutors.

The four-week program will provide many opportunities for:

  • earning college credit,
  • experiencing the English language, culture, traditions,
  • and the beauty of Michigan and its surrounding areas.

You'll use all your senses to learn, explore, and socialize. You'll be led to improve and challenge, not only your English language skills, but also your Christian perspective.
