The Junior Statesmen Foundation is excited to kick off the 69^th Annual Summer School season. This weekend, over 130 students from around the country and around the world will converge on Georgetown University campus for the start of Summer School.  The students coming to our nation’s capital will be taking courses on American government, media and politics, Constitutional Law, and foreign policy in the classroom and learning about politics in the heart of our government.

Each evening, students will research and debate current policies facing Members of Congress and citizens of our nation.  In addition, they will attend speaker events with elected officials and other leaders at locations around the city including Capitol Hill, the Pentagon, the U.S. Department of State, and two Embassies. The three-week program also includes a scheduled tour of the White House and a tour of the national monuments. The session will culminate with an evening of fireworks celebrating America’s independence on July 4^th, the evening before graduation.

The enthusiasm of these students is palpable as they pack their bags and prepare for an unforgettable growth experience.  We are excited to meet each of them and welcome them to DC! For directions to campus this weekend, please see below!
