Summer Opportunities

Notre Dame offers two exciting summer opportunities only for international high school students. As a participant in either two-week program, you'll learn from Notre Dame faculty and live in a residence hall on campus, where you will experience our vibrant community firsthand.

Both programs include the opportunity to meet with staff from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to learn more about applying to Notre Dame and have your questions answered. In addition, you are invited to stay for an optional third week focused on preparation for the TOEFL, SAT, and ACT exams.    

International Leadership, Enrichment, and Development Program (iLED)
