The Supreme Court Summer Institute

About

For more than 30 years, the Supreme Court Historical Society, in partnership with Street Law, Inc., has hosted the Supreme Court Summer Institute (SCSI) in Washington, D.C., a fully funded professional development opportunity for middle and high school social studies teachers.

Each summer, the Institute brings together 60 educators from across the country for two intensive six-day sessions. Teachers gain a deeper understanding of the Supreme Court’s role in American democracy and return to their classrooms with innovative strategies to teach the Constitution and the judiciary.
