President’s Circle

Abell Circle

George Abell was a long-time Academic Director, Associate Academic Director, and guest speaker during the Summer Science Program’s early years at Thacher School in Ojai, California.

To honor him, and the many students he inspired, the Abell Circle helps to provide financial aid for low-income Summer Science Program participants. By joining the Abell Circle, you enable SSP International to provide an unparalleled educational experience to all who qualify — regardless of socioeconomic status.
