Student Application & Registration
Student Applications
Applications for Summer 2026 Are Now Opened!
Applications Are Due By January 31st, 2026 @ 11:59pm
New students are recruited in the 8th grade for the rising 9th Grade Summer Academies. Once a student has been accepted, they are automatically admitted into the following summers until they graduate the program. However, returning students must register before each summer program through Ideal-Logic and complete the necessary forms.
Students currently in 9th and 10th grade may apply as late applicants to fill in empty spots on the 10th and 11th grade summer academies. We do not accept new students for the 12th grade academy.
The applicant must:
- Provide basic information*, including a working email for the student and a parent/guardian.
- Upload their grades from the previous school year.
- Answer several short answer questions pertaining to their interest in STEM, the geosciences, and the GeoFORCE program.

Student Registrations
Registrations Are Closed For Summer 2026
Students accepted into the program for Summer 2026, and all returning students will need their parents or guardians to register them on Ideal-Logic. All registration links are private and will be emailed out to each individual student & guardian. This is a simple registration process, not a new application.
If students do not complete their registration by the deadline given in the Spring, their spot will be released to another student.
