Student Profile
We seek outstanding high school student scholar-leaders with strong academic records, passion for national and international issues, interest in attending a top university such as Yale, and who wish to make substantive and lasting contributions to their communities and the world. Because each program is conducted as a college-level academic and/or leadership development experience, students are expected to be mature, focused, responsible, articulate, passionate, and willing to engage in discussions over difficult intellectual, moral and policy issues. The Ivy Scholars Program focuses on developing future senior leaders in government, business, public service, and education and to that end, seeks student scholar-leaders who have strong written and verbal communication skills, can read and analyze large amounts of material, draw well-reasoned conclusions, and consistently adhere to a high standard of personal and professional conduct. These special academic and leadership development experiences are designed for extraordinarily capable individuals of strong character who know who they are, possess a strong desire
to analyze and understand complex ideas and issues, and have a calling to someday serve at the very highest levels of government, business, public service, and education. Students must be at least 13 years of age by the start of the program due to University regulations for summer programs. Due to the very large number of applicants, we do not accept applications from rising freshmen (will be in their first year of high school or grade 9 in the 2012-13 academic year) for any of our summer experiences. While there is no formal minimum grade point average (GPA) requirement, applicants with less robust grades should demonstrate excellence in intellectual and leadership in all other areas. Teacher and mentor recommendations as well as student statements of interest are very important parts of our admission decisions. Each of our Ivy Scholars Program summer experiences are taught in English and all students should possess strong verbal and written communication skills in the English language. We welcome home-schooled and privately-tutored applicants.
Program Overview
The Ivy Scholars Program is a high school leadership development initiative sponsored by International Security Studies at Yale University and is an outreach program of the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy, ISS's strategic leadership education initiative dedicated to developing global leaders in government, business, public service, and education for the 21st century. The Program is designed for exceptional high school student scholarleaders who aim become senior leaders in government, business, public service, or education whether they be a future president/prime minister or legislator, CEO or corporate director, public service leader, teacher or professor. The goal of each of our experiences is to study and apply the lessons of the world's greatest thinkers, strategists and leaders and apply them to contemporary and future issues. All three Ivy Scholars programs place a strong emphasis on developing superior writing skills. Our senior faculty has observed a steep decline in the writing skills of undergraduate students over the past several decades even at the very best institutions. Each program highlights a different type of writing necessary for high-trajectory scholarleaders. Our expert and experienced writing instructors have a strong track record of developing skilled writers. Each of the Ivy Scholars Program summer experiences include lectures by Yale professors and other top university faculty and scholars, discussion seminars on specific ideas and issues, mentoring sessions with distinguished alumni and rising professionals, and specialized training sessions and group activities. While the Ivy Scholars Program trains the most talented high school scholar-leaders from across the United States, we will continue to recruit and attract the best international scholar-leaders from countries around the world.

Some of the defining elements of this challenging program include the following: Faculty lecture series: Each morning a faculty member from Yale or an Ivy-peer institution will deliver a lecture on a specific facet of political philosophy, economics, and/or the law. Examples of such lectures given at previous Ivy Scholars programs include Professor Steven Smith on Abraham Lincoln, Professor Bryan Garston on the Progressive Era, Professor Robert Schiller on Economic Trends, former Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh on Leadership and the Law, and Professor Robert Dahl on Democratic Theory. Although the list of speakers vary from year-to-year, the consistently high quality of faculty lecturers has made the faculty lecture series consistently one of the most highly evaluated features of the Ivy Scholars programs. Seminar program: Students will participate in over a half dozen two-hour seminars on a wide variety of topics. All students will complete a sequence of core seminars, equipping them with fundamental tools in philosophical, legal, and economic analysis. Students will also be able to take several elective seminars, allowing them to emphasize specific facets of political philosophy, economics, and the law. Academic writing in philosophy and the social sciences: Students will learn to write across a broad variety of academic and intellectual platforms. Working with experienced instructors in small writing groups, students will be empowered to write at a collegiate level before, in most cases, having graduated from high school. Last years students overwhelmingly identified the enhancement of this skill set as one of the most significant benefits of the program. Simulations and deliberative exercises: Students will be given the opportunity to operationalize the theory to which they have been exposed by engaging in a series of imaginative simulations and deliberative exercises. For example, one exercise will challenge students to construct and defend a constitution and advocate for their ideas in a simulated constitutional convention. Yet another exercise might include students designing and defending a notion of how the U.S. federal budget ought to be allocated. In addition, faculty members will screen films and documentaries relevant to the curriculum and lead thought-provoking discussions afterwards. Such deliberative exercises have been a longstanding and popular feature of the Ivy Scholars programs. Guided reading program: Students will receive a packet of several hundred pages of readings to be completed prior to the program which will serve as the foundation for many of the lectures and seminars. There will be several books that will need to be read prior to the program. Primary sources to be analyzed include The Mayflower Compact, The Articles of Confederation, The Declaration of Independence, The U.S. Constitution, and others.
Our instructors will also lead in-depth discussions on the theories and accomplishments of the greatest thinkers and leaders in American politics, philosophy and self-governance from the great Continental thinkers who influenced the leaders of the young American republic to the great leaders who kept the nation steady during uncertain times. The importance of the legal and economic dimensions in politics will also be emphasized. This advanced, interdisciplinary program far exceeds the standard curriculum of an AP or honors-level high school government class. In fact, many college undergraduates will not be exposed to the lessons in this program. This carefully crafted curriculum is designed to empower students with the research and critical thinking skills necessary to analyze and evaluate competing ideas at the intersection of American politics, philosophy, law, and economics.
As mentioned previously, students participating in this program will be expected to read several hundred pages of pre-program readings to be sent to the student upon payment of tuition. There will also be a significant amount of reading during the program as well as individual assignments and team exercises. Students will have an opportunity to conduct research on a topic of interest as well as to prepare and present their research to their peers and faculty of the program. The APPLE program promises to be not only challenging but enjoyable for gifted students as well. Despite the robust workload, over 70% of last years participants evaluated their experience as not only deeply rewarding, but also fun at a level of either 9 or 10 (on a ten point scale). Key faculty members of the APPLE Program include (with additional instructors to be announced): Dr. Corey Brettschneider received a Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University and a J.D. from Stanford University and is Associate Professor of Political Science at Brown University, where he teaches courses in political theory and public law. He is also Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Philosophy and Public Policy. For the academic year 2010-2011, Professor Brettschneider was a Rockefeller Faculty Fellow at the Princeton University Center for Human Values. He was a Visiting Associate Professor at Harvard Law School for the Winter Term 2009 and a Faculty Fellow at the Harvard Safra Center for Ethics during the 2006-2007 academic year. Dr. Brettschneider is the author of Democratic Rights: The Substance of Self-Government (Princeton University Press, 2007). Aspen Press will publish Brettschneider's three-volume casebook on Constitutional Law in 2012. Dr. Bryan Garsten is Professor of Political Science at Yale University and teaches in the Directed Studies Program. He received his Ph.D. from the Government Department at Harvard University and taught at Williams College before coming to Yale. He writes about the history of political thought and contemporary political theory, with a special interest in the themes of persuasion, judgment, political representation and religion. His first book, Saving Persuasion: a defense of rhetoric and judgment (Harvard 2006), earned the First Book Prize from the Foundations of Political Theory section of the American Political Science Association, the Thomas J. Wilson Prize from Harvard University Press, and the Delba Winthrop Award for Excellence in Political Science. In 2008 he received the Poorvu Family Award for Interdisciplinary Teaching. Dr. Danilo Petranovich is the Jack Miller Center Lecturer and assistant director of the Yale Center for the Study of Representative Institutions. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University in 2007 and has taught at Yale as a Lecturer and at Duke as a Visiting Assistant Professor from 2008 to 2010. Dr. Petranovichs research has focused on the history of American political thought, with a special focus on American national culture and Abraham Lincoln as a nation-builder. His two forthcoming articles are Lincolns New Nationalism (Yale, 2011) and Lincolns Biblical Oratory and the Coming of the Civil War (with Matthew Holbreich). Some of his other research interests are reflected in the edited volume Identities, Allegiances, Affiliations (Cambridge, 2007, with Seyla Benhabib and Ian Shapiro), and The Reagan I Knew (Basic, 2008, with William F. Buckley, Jr.). Paul Solman, Brady-Johnson Distinguished Fellow in Grand Strategy at Yale University, has been business, economics and occasional art correspondent for The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer since 1985. His work has won numerous awards, including Emmys in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and '00s, two Peabodys (the most recent in 2004 for his reporting on the undercounting of unemployment) and a Loeb award for reporting on China. Mr. Solman has also served on the Harvard Business School faculty, teaching media, finance and business history in the Advanced Management Program. His two latest projects for The NewsHour are America's Response to Globalization (a yearlong occasional series) and a Financial Literacy project. Dr. Justin Zaremby 03 earned his Ph.D. in political philosophy at Yale in 2007 and graduated in 2010 with a J.D. degree from Yale Law School. A long-time instructor in the Ivy Scholars Program, Dr. Zaremby taught in Yales selective interdisciplinary program in Western civilization for first-year students, the Directed Studies Program. He was one of twelve winners (and the only winner in the social sciences) of Yales prestigious Prize Teaching Fellowship in 2006 for his undergraduate teaching excellence.

Our Mission: Educate Future Leaders in Grand Strategy: An Interdisciplinary, Big Picture Method of Strategic Analysis
The Ivy Scholars Program is a sponsored program of International Security Studies at Yale University and is an outreach program of the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy, ISS's strategic leadership education initiative dedicated to developing global leaders in government, business, and public service sector for the 21st century. Why we teach Grand Strategy. Professors Paul Kennedy, John Lewis Gaddis, and Charles Hill launched the Grand Strategy Project in January 2000 in the belief that there was a pressing need for the major research universities of this country to invest in one of their original purposesnamely, to encourage future leaders to learn to think strategically. The faculty at International Security Studies and the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy continues to be concerned that these universities are emphasizing narrow fields of study at the expense of broad, comparative education in the best liberal arts tradition. We regret that senior faculty at many of these institutions are teaching fewer survey courses, and so abandoning work that should be central to higher education. And we fear that this specialization would deprive the nation (and the world) of future leaders who could effectively confront the domestic and international challenges of the new century. The result is a highly selective, year-long graduate course in strategic leadership called Studies in Grand Strategy which attracts the very best students throughout our graduate and professional schools as well as Yale College. Why study Grand Strategy? By studying the best of what has been thought and written about Grand Strategy over the past 2,500 years, and by challenging our students to apply these insights to current and future concerns, we seek to provide our studentsthe future leaders of this country and around the worldwith the analytical skills they will need in whatever leadership positions they may occupy and whatever contingencies they may confront. No single academic discipline is able to provide complete and ultimately effective solutions to the myriad of complex issues which will confront the next generation of leaders. By exposing our students to the best scholars and practitioners in a wide range of academic and professional fields, we hope to prepare these future leaders to not only appreciate but utilize the resources that each discipline can provide in solving national and global problems. By learning the lessons from successes and failures of past leaders and strategists, we hope to arm our students with the lessons of history so that success is a far more common outcome than failure. The Grand Strategy program's unique format of faculty lectures, practitioner presentations, academic seminars, mentoring sessions, leadership skills training, and advocacy skills instruction supports our mission statement motto: We believe that teaching Grand Strategy is the best long-term investment we can make in the future.

Yale Ivy Scholars Program Studies in Grand Strategy for High School Student Leaders Class of 2011
16
Q: How can I best prepare for my Ivy Scholars experience? A: First, each of our programs will require that several books and a pre-program packet of readings be read prior to the start of the program. Depending on your reading schedule, this may take two to three weeks to accomplish. Second, we recommend and our Ivy Scholars alumni over the past decade wholeheartedly agree that all incoming students spend at least one week resting prior to the start of the program. We have seen too many overprogrammed young people come in from wilderness experiences, sports camps, other academic programs, etc. that literally ended the day prior to the start of their Ivy Scholars experience. Nearly all arrived on campus thoroughly exhausted and unable to fully engage in and benefit from the intensive learning format of all our academic experiences. Our programs run from morning through the late evening every day with the exception of the middle Sunday when the program starts at 1:00 p.m. Not only are each of our experiences intellectually and mentally rigorous, they are physically demanding as well. Q: Im attending another program that overlaps with yours. Can I arrive late and/or leave early? A: Due to the intensive nature of our program, we run the first part of our orientation program the night of check-in day and the morning of the following so arriving even a day late will leave you significantly disadvantaged in getting the most out of your Ivy Scholars experience. Each of our experiences include group activities at the end of the experience that depend on the participation of every member of the program. In fact, we recommend every participant in our program rest the week prior to the start of each of our experiences and should be 100% committed to participating in the entire program. If you have other commitments that prevent you from meeting this commitment, then perhaps our experiences are not a good fit for you. Q: What is the tuition for your program? A: Our tuition fees for 2012 are as follows: 1. The $50.00 application fee, made payable to "Yale University" is required with the application. This fee, which is separate from the tuition cost, covers the expense of the admissions review process and is nonrefundable. The application fee must be included with the application form to be considered for admission. Note: The application fee is waived for applicants who reside and attend school outside of the United States. 2. Total tuition for each of our 2012 Ivy Scholars Program experiences is $4,488.00 per student which includes instruction, Yale College housing, and meal plan but does not include the cost of several books that are to be purchased and read by the student prior to the start of the program. Please contact our Program Registrar if you live or can stay locally in the New Haven area and wish to participate as a commuter student (no housing or meal plan). Q: Do you accept credit cards for tuition payments? A: We are a small program so it is not practical for us to set-up and maintain a merchant account to process credit card payments. Many credit card issuers do provide checks that can be used to access lines of credit and we do accept those credit card checks for tuition payments. Q: Are scholarships available? A: Scholarship assistance is available for applicants with demonstrated financial need. Please refer to the information on scholarships on page 15. Our scholarship application form is included at the end of this prospectus. Q: I am a vegetarian. Will I be able to eat in the university dining halls? A: Yes. The university dining halls offer a variety of vegetarian meal options including salad and sandwich bar, hot vegetarian entrees, and other non-meat offerings. There are many vegetarian students at Yale and the dining service has decades of experience catering to their needs. Q: I am a student who lives and attends school outside the United States. Can I participate in your program? A: Yes! In fact, between 25-30% of our students come from outside the United States. Past students have come from Canada, Europe and the United Kingdom, the Middle East, South America, and throughout Asia. All international students must be proficient in written and spoken English language. Because of our intensive two-week format, our students typically come on a tourist visa. It is the students responsibility to obtain the necessary visas and meet the requirements for entry into the United States. Yale University requires all students to obtain medical insurance that is in force throughout the program including travel dates to and from New Haven, Connecticut.
17
Q: Do you provide transcripts or course credit for your program? A: The Ivy Scholars Program is specifically designed as a non-credit, academic enrichment program that includes a broad survey of national and international issues as well as leadership-oriented skills, and in the case of our Program in American Political Philosophy, Law, Economics (APPLE), in-depth study of the most important political, legal, and economic ideas and challenges. The scholar-leader we seek prioritizes the experience of working with worldclass scholars, leading practitioners, and other top-caliber students over seeking an additional credential to add to a list of summer activities on a college application form. Our philosophy is to provide a unique opportunity for high achieving students to engage in proactive learning without the pressure of grades and rankings. Although our instructors provide ample student feedback during the program, we have specifically chosen NOT to provide transcripts, evaluations, or course credit for any of our programs. Students and their parents who are seeking a college course for credit experience are encouraged to apply to the Yale Summer School at URL: (http://www.yale.edu/summer/). Q: Will attending the Ivy Scholars Program help me get into Yale as an undergraduate? A: The admissions process for our Ivy Scholars programs is independent of the admissions process for Yale College. Some Ivy Scholars alumni have indeed gone on to apply to Yale and have been admitted. The primary purpose of all of our summer experiences, however, is to bring out the best abilities and leadership qualities of our participants. Studying at Yale with Yale faculty members has helped our Ivy Scholars students successfully master demanding college-level work and prepare themselves for making strong applications, whether to Yale or to a very broad range of highly selective colleges. For those participants who are interested in applying to Yale College, we work with the Admissions Office to provide a special college admissions workshop and for rising seniors, we will also provide the instructions for scheduling on-campus admissions interviews during the program. Our program is well-known among college admissions directors and our alumni are well-represented at Ivy League institutions as well as top private and public colleges across the country. Q: I am educated at home or outside of a traditional secondary educational institution. Can I apply to your Ivy Scholars Program experiences? A: Yes! We accept applications from students with a wide range of educational backgrounds and experiences. For the past decade, we have worked with a number of students who have been home schooled, educated by private tutors, or took most of their high school education in an online format. All of those students did very well in our programs. We ask that you provide our selection committee with as much documentation in your application that demonstrates that you are prepared for a rigorous academic experience in a community of young scholar-leaders. Q: Can I bring my personal assistants, butlers, maids, etc. to the program? A: We receive a number of requests each year requesting adjoining or nearby sleeping quarters for personal assistants, butlers, maids, servants, and other support personnel for their child during the program. Our policy is the same as Yale College during the academic year: Yale expects all students to learn and live independently without the support of outside personnel. Students who have physical disabilities that require an attendant are, of course, exempt from this policy and the University has a dedicated office that can assist any eligible student. Please contact our Program Coordinator, David Hennigan, for a referral. Q: I have a bodyguard team who provides for my security. What arrangements can be made? A: Students who have bona fide needs for bodyguards and security details should contact Dr. Luong to make coordinating arrangements with the appropriate agencies. Yale University has educated many children of heads of state, diplomats, national and global political and business leaders, internationally renowned figures, and persons of substantial means. Our state-credentialed university police and security personnel are very experienced in helping each private, governmental, and diplomatic security detail maintain a high degree of safety for their principals in a discreet manner. Q: Aren't all academic and leadership programs sponsored by the university where they are held? A: No! In fact, most academic and leadership programs are NOT run or sponsored by the university where they are located. Many of these heavily-advertised programs merely rent dormitory and classroom space at prestigious universities but have little, if any, further connection with the institution or its faculty. A number of academic and leadership development programs run their programs at Ivy League universities but hire instructors from 3rd and 4th-tier colleges to teach in those programs. The Ivy Scholars Program is a non-profit, officially-sponsored outreach program of Yale University and is run by Yale faculty members and administrators as part of its mission to help identify, train, and prepare the next generation of global leaders.
18
Q: There are other summer programs with lower tuition or are longer in duration. Is your Ivy Scholars Program a good value? A: There are many reasons why our Ivy Scholars Program represents some of the very best values in high school academic and leadership summer programs: Non-profit orientation. Unlike most other summer programs, we do not run our programs to generate revenue or profits for the university. The tuition funds go towards covering program expenses such as housing, meals, instructors, supplies, recruitment, advertising, curriculum development, and program administration. In fact, alumni and donor contributions cover the balance of our operating expenses including the Miller scholarship funds. 100% of your tuition dollar goes to delivering a superior educational experience. All-inclusive tuition. Many other summer programs tack on extra fees for meals, library passes, or "lab fees" which in certain cases adds up to hundreds of dollars. Your Ivy Scholars Program tuition is all-inclusive which means that housing, meals, and all instruction are covered. Students usually bring some extra money to cover personal purchases (souvenirs, an occasional off-campus meal or snack, or a Yale sweatshirt) or Yale gym pass (approx. $25.00). The only required expense not covered by tuition is for assigned books. Students are to purchase and read the assigned texts prior to the start of the program. You will not be surprised by any additional or hidden costs when you participate in our summer programs. World-class professors. No other summer academic or leadership development program in the world can offer the breadth and caliber of our renowned scholars. Yale faculty members as well as distinguished practitioners will lecture, answer questions, and lead discussions on important national and international topics in their area of specialization. In addition, we have invited distinguished faculty members and noted scholars from other peer institutions such as Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, and Brown universities to lead seminars and present lectures. Ivy Scholars alumni tell us that the faculty sessions were one of the best parts of their experience. At other summer academic and leadership programs, non-affiliated faculty, high school teachers or college students, nearly all of whom are not subject matter experts, deliver the lectures. We believe that our students gain a much deeper understanding of critical issues by learning from and interacting with the world's leading experts. Award-winning instructors. For our specialized writing programs, we have recruited a number of outstanding writing instructors to help our students take their writing skills to the next level. Several of our writing instructors help Yale undergraduate and graduate students in our campus writing center. For our public speaking and advocacy instruction sessions, the Ivy Scholars Program attracts many of the nation's best public speaking and argumentation instructors. Many of our senior instructors teach the top students at specialized summer speech and debate programs. Our staff includes national and regional public speaking and debate champions as well as veteran coaches who have developed national champions. We believe that our students will develop the most effective writing and speaking skills by working with experienced, award-winning instructors. No recruitment quotas for our instructors. It has come to our attention that several prominent summer programs require their instructors to recruit a certain number of students in order to be hired. These instructors, in turn, have been inappropriately promoting their programs and aggressively recruiting individual students. We question the motives of these "instructors" who aggressively recruit students for a particular summer program is it because they really believe that there is a good fit between the program and the student or are these instructors trying to meet a quota to keep their summer jobs? The Ivy Scholars Program has maintained a consistent policy since our inception: Our instructors are selected because they are superb teachers and excellent role models, not because they can recruit enough students to cover their own paychecks. Competitive admission policy. We select the best high school student-leaders from across the nation and around the world. It is our belief that exceptional learning and development are facilitated by interaction between top-caliber students and world-class instructors. By carefully selecting our students based on a combination of academic performance, leadership experience and potential, extra-curricular achievements, maturity, and interest in public policy and international affairs, we create a collegial culture of excellence that brings together outstanding students from across the United States and around the world including Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and throughout Asia. With rare exception, other summer programs enroll students on a first-come, first-served basis and will take as many students whose parents or sponsors are willing to write the tuition check. In fact, some summer academic and leadership development programs attempt to service upwards of 300 to even 400 students in a single program! We believe the best summer experience comes from small group learning among other highly-qualified students, not just students whose sole qualification is ability to pay the tuition.

One of the best student-to-instructor ratios of any summer academic program. Our students receive lots of personalized attention from our instructors. Many other programs are able to charge lower tuition or run longer because they accept many more students for each instructor. Some programs place 30 students in a learning group with one or perhaps two instructors. Many of our students who attended these programs prior to their Ivy Scholars experience have told us that they did not learn very much and that they did not have many opportunities to even ask questions. Our program maintains at least a 6-to-1 student-to-instructor ratio. We do not cut corners by admitting additional students to boost profits nor count support and administrative staff to artificially lower our advertised student-to-instructor ratios. Small program size. What really sets the Ivy Scholars Program apart from other academic and leadership programs is our small program size. We plan to admit no more than 100 of the most qualified high school student-leaders from across the United States and around the world for our American Political Philosophy, Law, and Economics Program (APPLE) and Global Leaders Development Program and no more than 80 in our Studies in Grand Strategy for High School Leaders Program. These global summits of high school student scholar-leaders provides the opportunity to work with every instructor in their program, not just a few. The program is small enough that all program participants get to know each other so that learning continues outside the classroom in the form of discussions during meals, morning study sessions, and evening faculty consultations. Ivy Scholars alumni become a cohesive group and long-term friendships are created. Compare this type of supportive and collegial learning environment to other programs that attempt to meet the needs of 300 to 400 students in a single program. Unsurpassed mentoring opportunities. We encourage our instructors and guest speakers to share their own academic and professional experiences and insights with our students. We select instructors who are not only gifted teachers and mentors but are also accomplished scholars who are attending or have graduated from Ivy League universities or honors programs at top-tier state institutions. Many of our instructors hold graduate or law degrees from top-ranked programs. Our instructor-mentors are dedicated to not only helping our students excel for the rest of their high school careers and through college, but to also stay focused on postbaccalaureate educational and career opportunities. Simply a better overall experience. Many of our students have attended other summer academic and leadership programs prior to participating in an Ivy Scholars Program experience. These students have consistently rated our program superior or vastly superior to these other programs in virtually all categories. The Ivy Scholars Program is the only high school summer program of its kind which combines intense, worldclass interdisciplinary academic study with practical writing and leadership skills. Last year's program was rated by the students on anonymous surveys as an outstanding overall experience. Furthermore, alumni from past years continue to keep in touch with us and report that the lessons that they learned years ago are still paying rich dividends. These votes of confidence are further evidence that students and their parents recognize the tremendous value of the Ivy Scholars experience.

From our 2011 Global Leaders Development Program I met so many different people from all around the world. It was a new experience to interact people that are different from me and I loved meeting people outside the "prep school bubble". It was so wonderful to be around people who are so much like me. It was nice to meet people that understand me on a different level than the people at my school and share similar values. Because the program is so small, I was able to interact with everyone here and get to know everyone's names. I really enjoyed meeting others who want to become leaders in their own communities and I'm just hoping everyone else did too. I will definitely keep in touch with everyone and thanks to Facebook, I'm sure that it'll be easy to keep in touch. I made friends with fellow Ivy Scholars who are all extremely smart. They unlike most people are interested in political issues and other matters that affect our lives. I hope to meet the friends I have made here in the future, as leaders in the world.
From our 2011 Studies in Grand Strategy for High School Leaders Program The academic rigor and quality of lectures made it a valuable life experience. I could not have put a price on this experience. By and large it was amazing and truly educational. It was fun and I met a lot of people. I also interacted with some great people and learned a lot. I realized just how lacking I really am and how much more I need to work on improving myself. It was a humbling experience. Ivy Scholars was more than I could have ever expected. I loved living in the dorms and having the Yale "college experience". The food was great and I was kept busy and slept well. The instruction and world-class professors here I am unable to describe in words. Never have I been in such a community of people that just loved to learn. I am glad to have been here and fortunate to have been accepted for such an experience. The standard that Ivy Scholars holds is above any other standard I have ever experienced. The fact that all the peers detest complaining is another factor that motivates me. It definitely gave me a taste of professionalism and "getting things done".
23
From our 2011 Studies in Grand Strategy for High School Leaders Program, continued Beyond simply being fun, it taught me many skills and expanded my knowledge about many current affairs. Ivy Scholars stimulated me and shocked my dormant spirit. I got complacent at school and lost many opportunities. I wouldn't trade this experience for much else. I wish I had attended this program sooner in my high school so that I still had time to change the course of my high school career. Loved the program. To be succinct. I will miss being here! The staff. The students. Yale itself. Overall, an extremely rewarding experience. I was pushed to my limits, beyond breaking point, but built myself back up again. The level of academic rigor, intensity, and quality is unmatched by any experience of my life. It condenses an already difficult course into a short period of time. I met many brilliant peers and learned from the most established group of professors I have ever seen put together. Met a soul mate friend, rose to a standard I didn't know I was capable of meeting, saw OTHERS rise to those standards, wow. Learned that coffee is awesome, lost some weight, got faster at typing in lectures, and LEARNED A TON. Whew. It's not so much the lectures and assignments that make this program so worth it. It's the community of students that it can bring together that makes it so priceless. Being in the company of such a diverse group of high-achievers is rare and so inspiring. I have always been singled out as the smart kid in my community. I have always had friends, but always felt slightly alienated from them. It is nice to know that there are other people that are the same caliber as I am. I will likely keep in touch for a long time with the friends I have made here. Lots of discussions in the common rooms after deadlines until early morning hours about random pieces of life. There was a lot of variety in the suites so we had people of all different backgrounds in the same place, which was really interesting. I also had lots of interesting late night discussions with my roommate about deep philosophical topics that we went over the day before.
We do receive unsolicited feedback from parents of our alumni. Here are some typical reactions:
From parents of our 2011 alumni Yesterday, I picked up my daughter after her two-week stint at the Grand Strategy program at Yale. She could not be more excited with the experience, what she learned, and the interactions she had. I saw her almost transformed into somebody supremely confident to take on college, and as she has reminded me many times, deal with failures as well. So this note is simply to add a sincere thank you, as a parent, for the program. I just wanted to drop you a note of "many thanks" for a program well done! In brief, I can tell you that our son had an experience that far exceeded his expectations, and he had high expectations. Notwithstanding all the "rumors" and "hearsay" about the program being the toughest 2-week experience one will have had to date, he overall actually "enjoyed" the experience. He seems to really have gotten the idea of what "strategic thinking" means, not just in international relations, but in everyday context. It really did open up his eyes to a distinct way of looking at things and thinking about things. We thank you on behalf of our son and as parents as well.
