Study

A unique aspect of SYI is the opportunity for high school students to study with seminary faculty. This encounter provides scholars an opportunity to dig deep into questions of life and faith with fascinating and brilliant professors through down-to-earth dialogue. Since the program's inception, over 70% of our faculty have participated.

Scholars take two courses during the Institute. One is a Bible study with the entire community and the other is an elective course of the scholars' choosing. Plenary lectures in the evenings compliment the broader themes the scholars explore during the day.
