| Central Honors Instittue (CHI) at Central Community College in Columbus, Nebraska, is a one-week residential academic camp for Nebraska students who have completed the sixth or seventh grades and have demonstrated academic accomplishments, leadership and maturity among their peers.
During the week, students choose to follow a particular academic track, either math or media/communications, led by CHI faculty. All the faculty members have solid teaching credentials and prior experience working at academic youth camps. The faculty members stress unique learning approaches and real-life applications of concepts. While the typical CHI camper excels at academics, students find they are challenged by the innovative teaching methods during the week.
CHI campers attend classes during the day, socialize with peers in the evenings and experience life on a community college campus, complete with dorm food and residence halls. |
