APPLICATIONS OPEN




Since 1931, the National High School Institute has brought outstanding students
to Northwestern University’s Evanston campus for immersive educational
experiences. Students are affectionately known as “Cherubs,” a name given to
them in the 1930s by Northwestern Dean Ralph Dennis whose goal, “to bring
together gifted young people and superior teachers in an atmosphere of
affection, knowledge, and trust,” is still upheld today. The oldest and largest
university-based program of its kind, NHSI offers studies in Theatre Arts, Film
& Video, Debate, and Playwriting.
