Hear from Georgetown students

 

Discover why students love this online program. Why Our Online Program Matters This exciting online program is designed to give students the opportunity to study with one of the nation’s premier institutions while still in high school. The flexible format allows them to study online from the comfort of their own home.   Here’s what one of our alumni has to say about their experience: “This course is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and learn something new. At a regular high school, you learn the basic universal curriculum. Through a course like this, you can dive into a specific topic that interests you and think about your future. It is asynchronous so it doesn't interfere with other commitments you may have, and the mentors/other students are so friendly. It is a great opportunity for a high schooler to grow, educate, and pique their interests.” —Lauren, Georgetown Pre-College Online student from N.Y. We invite your students to join our impressive roster of alumni students that share their similar passions. Encourage them to apply today.   New this summer: We’re offering two college credit-bearing courses, with more on the way. If you have high school students with a passion for biology or psychology, our college credit courses in these subjects could be a great fit.
