Programme OverviewGlobal Achievers Academy is a two-week summer programme designed for students aged 13-17. We empower young people to become global change-makers through an innovative curriculum focused on leadership, sustainability, and technology. Our mission is to inspire students to tackle today’s pressing issues and develop the skills needed to become responsible, impactful global citizens.
Destinations
Students can join us at Harvard & Tufts University in Boston or UCL in London.
Accommodation
In Boston, our students stay in university halls of residence at Tufts University. Set on 150 acres with a wealth of sports facilities and green spaces, the halls of residence provide the perfect backdrop for students to relax, sleep and eat after a busy day studying at Harvard! Accommodation is full-board in single and twin rooms, with common bathrooms along the corridor. Communal spaces are also available.
Curriculum Highlights
Our unique curriculum is based on 5 diverse key subjects:
- Technology & the Future
- Humanities
- Sustainability & the Environment
- Leadership
- Finance & Economics
Our students enjoy broadening their horizons by studying a number of inter-connected topics during their time with us. Our curriculum provides an exciting approach to learning about global leadership and the world in which our students will eventually lead!
Professional workshops
We organise interactive workshops designed to build essential life skills and expand the knowledge of our students. Combining practical learning with creativity, our sessions focus on communication skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership development.Through group workshop activities and real-world applications, we foster collaboration, inspire curiosity, and empower our future leaders to tackle challenges with resilience and vision.
Guest Speakers
In both of our destinations, our students have the opportunity to hear from and learn from experts in their field. Sharing real-life experiences or years of academic research, our guest speakers are well placed to enhance the topics our students are learning about and they are an important part of the programme.
