Still looking for something to do this summer?

Here is just a small sampling of some of the college summer programs that are available to students.

1.  Make the nation's capital your classroom at George Washington University.  There are several college intensive sessions: a 3 week program, a 6 week program, and a 6 week online session!.  There are additional summer immersion sessions in July that cover a variety of topics. We have a brochure in our office or check it out at PRECOLLEGE.GWU.EDU

2.  Hollins University has some awesome residential programs in July: Caught in the Act (theater), Taking Joy in the Art of Creative Writing, and Riders Who Are Going Places (for all you equestrians out there).  Visit their website at www.hollins.edu/hollinsummer for more information.

3.  Boston in the summer can be lots of fun, and Boston University has five great summer options for you.  There is the six week High School Honors program, a Research Internship in Science and Engineering, and an Academic Immersion that allows students to focus intensely on one subject.  To find out more about these and the others, go to bu.edu/summer/highschool.

4. I know we have a lot of girls interested in business, so you might want to consider one of the pre-college programs at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Options include Leadership in the Business World, the Management and Technology Summer Institute, and the Wharton Sports Business Academy.  These are limited to rising juniors and seniors.

For more information, visit wharton.upenn.edu/academics/pre-college-programs.cfm

5.  We also have several brochures on summer study abroad programs.  You can find those in the basket in the upper school office lobby.
