Art School not-so-Confidential

What are the best summer residential art programs in Philly for high school students? I'm looking into programs for my favorite 14-year-old (I'm a sort of aunt to her) for next summer.
She loves manga, and does a fair amount of illustration and watercolor in that style, but is interested in diverse styles of drawing, painting, sculpture, craft.
Does anyone have any experience specifically with the high-school summer programs at Moore College of Art, University of the Arts, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, or Tyler School of Art?
(Philly-centric because part of the appeal to both her and her parents is that I'd be nearby.)

Response by poster: Why are you not calling me to go get a beer after class, since you're practically in my neighborhood? Anyway, I don't think Fleischer does residential programs for teenagers, do they?

I know the window of opportunity has probably passed.
But, University of the Arts does exactly what you want.
I attended UArts, and it was pretty decent. A good third of the people I went to school with had done that summer program. It was, apparently, awesome.

Response by poster: No, window of opportunity hasn't passed! This would be for next summer. And it's very good to have at least one actual recommendation based on personal experience.
