At Georgetown, the summer experience expands far beyond the classroom walls. Our Summer High School Programs are designed to reflect the college experience, and as such, we offer our students optional activities to enjoy during their free time.
Outside of class, you can choose from a wide range of daily activities to participate in, or opt for unstructured time where you can venture out and explore the city or stay in and catch up on your summer reading.
Regardless of how you choose to spend your free time, we’ll always have a variety of planned activities to give you the freedom to make each day different—and tailored to fit your interests.
Events & Activities
While many of our activities and events are open to all Summer High School students, some of our offerings (such as our off-site trips) are only available to students participating in the two-, three-, and five-week programs. If you are in a two-, three-, or five-week program and have decided to commute daily to Georgetown, you’ll still have the same access to student life activities as residential students. See below for a sample of events and activities from last year. Activities are subject to vary from year to year.
