College is a transformative experience, during which students are introduced to new perspectives, exciting ideas, and academic frameworks. Graduates emerge with not only the disciplinary knowledge gleaned from their courses, but the metaknowledge—the knowledge about knowledge—necessary to synthesize new information and make informed, smart decisions in their professional and personal lives. Georgetown’s Hoya Summer High School Sessions invites academically gifted high school students to get a head start on that process through engaging courses and hands-on experiences. Students have the opportunity to explore academic interests, meet classmates from around the world, and earn college credit—all while experiencing the excitement of college life.
