321 live camps. 38 categories. 10 weeks of friends, confidence, and learning they actually care about. Teachers who are grown-up versions of them.
WASC Accredited · Expert 2E Teachers · Gifted Peers Only · 100% Online
Every summer, the same
impossible puzzle.
You know your child needs more. Getting it shouldn't feel like this.
You paid, they didn't get it, your kid shut down. Another program that just didn't stick — and another summer of guilt.
You've watched them struggle with online classes before. The enthusiasm at signup. The silence by week two. The heartbreak.
You need structure, but not the kind that breaks them. 10 weeks disappears into YouTube before you know it.
You want your kid in good hands so you can actually work — or rest — without the background hum of guilt and worry.
✦ YSA Solves Every Piece
"After five different schools and countless programs, YSA was the first place that didn't try to 'fix' my daughter. For the first time in her life, she said 'Mom, these people get me.'"
— Rachel, YSA Parent

Family pricing available: 2 children, 3 children, and 4+ children rates exist for every tier. One pass = one child. Contact support@youngscholarsacademy.org for multi-child pricing or any questions.
We design the whole summer.
You just show up.
Bronze (3 camps/week), Silver (5 camps/week), or Gold (5 camps + 1:1 sessions + direct Sam access). Passes close May 15 — no regular-price version exists after that.
You'll get a confirmation email with a calendar link. On the call, Mr. Sam or Ms. Ann will personally design your child's 10-week schedule from all 321 camps — based on their interests, strengths, and personality. You leave the call with a complete summer plan.
By Monday at 9 AM PT, two weeks before each week begins, submit your camp selections for that week. Change weekly. Swap anything that doesn't fit. If a camp isn't a match, let us know by end of Day 1 and we'll move your child that same week.
June 1 through August 14. Small groups of gifted peers. Teachers who actually understand how they're wired. Subjects they love, at the depth they've never had in a regular classroom. That's the summer you've been looking for.
Every bonus solves a real problem.
Nothing is filler.
A personal 1:1 call with Mr. Sam or Ms. Ann. We build your child's complete 10-week schedule together. You never have to stare at 321 options alone again.
Temple Grandin, Barry Prizant, Seth Perler, Emily Kircher-Morris, and 8 more world-class researchers. Gifted anxiety, EF tools, 2E strategies, nutrition, college admissions for ND students, and more.
Daily supervised social time Monday–Friday. This is where your child finds their people — not just classmates, but intellectual peers who match their intensity and actually get them.
DND was full last time. AI Exploration had a waitlist. Pass holders register 24 hours before general enrollment opens — first choice on every high-demand camp.
Five downloadable guides covering: summer structure for 2E kids, screen time without the battle, emotional regulation tools, gifted twice-exceptionality, and finding your child's learning edge.
The private community where "my child is exhausting and extraordinary" is met with immediate recognition — not blank stares. The only place you won't have to explain.
321 camps. 38 categories.
Something for every kind of mind.
From Dungeons & Dragons and AI Exploration to Philosophy, Songwriting, and Marine Biology. Your child will find their thing — probably several things.

Real stories from parents
who almost didn't try.
"My teen went from isolating in his room playing video games to being out of his room and asking to do more social things, go to more educational events, and constantly sharing what he's learning on his own. He is drawing, playing guitar and writing songs. He's mastered Spanish. He is more confident, able to have back-and-forth conversations with his peers and teachers and be on camera. The only thing he has complained about is the classes are too short."
"After five different schools and countless programs, YSA was the first place that didn't try to 'fix' my daughter. For the first time in her life, she said 'Mom, these people get me.'"
"The open house ended at 9 PM and I had him signed up for a couple courses by 11 PM. After the first couple weeks he said 'I don't know what she teaches but I want a class with her.' That from a kid who had 20 missed school days from meltdowns."
"We spent thousands on therapies and interventions trying to 'fix' our son. YSA costs less and accomplishes more because it builds on his strengths instead of focusing on his challenges."
"Try From the Inside"
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
You wouldn't buy a house without walking through it first. You shouldn't commit to summer without the same right. We're not asking you to leap blind — we're asking you to try from the inside.
For À La Carte families: If your child doesn't love their camp by end of Day 1 — no problem. We'll either transfer them to another camp that same week, or give you a full credit to your YSA account. No hassle, no forms, no guilt.
For Summer Pass families:
- Individual camps can be swapped freely — let us know by end of Day 1 of any camp.
- If the pass isn't working after your first full week, we convert 100% of your pass value to YSA credit that never expires.
- That credit applies to any future camps, courses, or school year enrollment. Nothing is lost.
- After the first week, all sales are final. The pass cannot be downgraded to à la carte.
"Best case: your child has the most incredible summer of their life. Worst case: every dollar becomes credit toward our school year courses where the real transformation happens. Both protect your investment. The only thing guaranteed not to help your child is doing nothing."
Answers to what every
YSA parent wants to know.
Courses are our premium offering — once per week for 11 weeks, going far deeper into a subject with the same group. Courses come with free Social Clubs and weekly progress report emails home. If your child loves a topic, both the camp and the course cover completely different content — no repetition.
- Strength-based only. We don't focus on what students aren't doing. We develop strengths, interests, and relationships.
- Neurodivergent mentors who have walked the walk. Every YSA teacher is a neurodivergent adult — many with 2E kids of their own in our programs. They bring real lived experience, not just credentials.
- Content students actually care about. DND, AI, Philosophy, Cryptography, Songwriting. The courses they need to be taking, not the ones they're required to take.
- A real community. Not a marketplace. A curated school with a consistent, vetted community of students and families who've been searching for exactly this.
