Georgetown University

Georgetown University, founded in 1789, is the oldest Catholic and Jesuit university in the United States and one of the world's leading research institutions. Located on a historic hilltop campus in Washington D.C., Georgetown combines the rigour of a world-class research university with the values of Jesuit education. Through its School of Continuing Studies, Georgetown offers a comprehensive suite of summer programmes for high school students, providing immersive academic experiences across disciplines including medicine, law, forensics, business, and the humanities. These programmes are designed to challenge intellectually curious students while exposing them to university-level scholarship. Georgetown's summer high school programmes draw students from across the United States and internationally, offering both residential and commuter formats on campus. Students gain firsthand exposure to college life, academic rigour, and professional networks through guest lecturers, field visits, and expert-led instruction.
