GHP is a residential instructional program for gifted students that offers
talented high school juniors and seniors challenging and enriching educational
opportunities not usually available during the regular school year.
During the four weeks of
the summer program, students spend the morning in their major area of
nomination, exploring topics not usually found in the regular high school
classroom. During the afternoons, students choose one of the other areas in
which to study. Evenings are filled with seminars, activities, concerts, and
performances.
The 2013 program will be the 50th summer, making it the longest continually
running program of its kind in the nation. GHP began in 1964 and is the oldest
and largest program of its type in the country. Fully funded by the Georgia
General Assembly, it is free of charge to participants.
