High School Physics Summer Camp
Deep Physics for High School: Three independent weeks in Princeton and Fair Lawn — thermodynamics, electricity & magnetism, optics
Deep Physics in Four Modules
Deep Physics is advanced physics training tailored for talented high schoolers: genuine intellectual challenge and real depth. See the Deep Physics overview for full program benefits and philosophy.
The spring and summer Core Theory and Practice programs form a unified curriculum. Together, the four modules cover core physics at an advanced level. Each module takes one week; sign up for any combination.
Mechanics
Kinematics, dynamics, conservation laws, rotational motion, statics, hydrostatics.
Thermodynamics
Kinetic molecular theory, laws of thermodynamics, heat engines, Carnot cycles.
Electricity & Magnetism
Electrostatics, direct current, magnetic field, electromagnetic induction.
Optics
Geometric and wave optics, optical instruments, interference, diffraction, polarization.
The specific list of topics covered in each module may be adjusted without notice.
Schedule & Enrollment
Dates: Summer 2026, exact dates to be announced. Each week is a standalone camp, Monday through Friday. Choose one, two, or all three.
Morning: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (3 hours with break)
Lunch: 12:00 – 1:00 PM (on your own)
Afternoon: 1:00 – 4:00 PM (3 hours with break)
Lectures covering theory in depth, followed by problem-solving. Students may present their solutions on the board. Instructor guides, asks questions, addresses common errors.
Group size: Up to 12 students
Location: Princeton or Fair Lawn, NJ. Indicate your preferred city when signing up. We confirm location and language (English or Russian) once minimum enrollment is reached.
Prerequisites:
Readiness and genuine interest in physics.
- Math: algebra, geometry, basic trigonometry
- Physics: no prior knowledge required
Deep Physics is conceptually demanding — serious, deep, and rigorous. We designed it for students who want real challenge and are ready to work for it. Not everyone will be able to follow every session. That's normal, and it's part of why the program works.
