Thank you to all who participated in the previous years of our Early College Summer program! They have all been great successes. We are now ready to accept applications for our Summer 2020 session open to all metro Atlanta students.
In four weeks, our students gain what they need to be successful upon starting college. They’ll learn academic, cultural and social skills through course work and field trips.
Early College Summer program students take college-level math, English and social science classes. They’ll learn such things as:
- study skills
- financial literacy
- how to become a successful college student
- coding, art, and film
Our on-campus summer program gives them the experience of what it’s like to be at the university. They’ll learn to navigate the campus, experience downtown, and interact with other college students.
They’ll also get to go on field trips such as:
- Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama
- Junior Achievement at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta
- and… a surprise, out-of-town, fun-filled trip
College-bound high school students will get a huge head start from this extraordinary experience.
The Early College Summer program runs from June 1-26, 2020. Please view the information below for program details and how to register.
