Georgetown University Entrepreneurship Academy
A pre-college program for high school students interested in developing entrepreneurial skills and exploring business
▌ Editor's read The Georgetown University Entrepreneurship Academy is a hybrid program for high school students, offered by Georgetown University, a well-established academic institution. The program runs for two weeks, with a cost of $3232.5 per week, totaling $6465 for the session. It focuses on developing entrepreneurial skills through lectures, workshops, and a capstone project where students develop and pitch a business idea. The program's website indicates it has been running for at least 10 years, based on archived program pages. Social media presence includes Instagram (@georgetownsummer) and Facebook (GeorgetownSummer), indicating active engagement. While the program is not ACA accredited, this is typical for university-run academic programs. The website does not explicitly mention staff background checks or specific staff-to-student ratios, which is common for university pre-college programs.
Who thrives here Ages 15–17
Georgetown University Entrepreneurship Academy serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in academic, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
