High school is a vital part of young peoples lives, and GIV has over 40 years of history helping students engage more critically in their high school academics as well as raising the bar on their future horizons.

Institutes are hosted in partnership with Vermont colleges and universities to give students of all backgrounds the opportunity to rehearse their futures. Students sample college life and get a feel for the college campus while being introduced to the experience of having roommates and sharing in a learning community.
