The American College of Greece – Pierce, Athens, Greece

The Pierce Leadership Academy is an experiential three-week educational summer program for students ages 13-17 from around the world. The Academy’s goal is to stimulate intellectual curiosity, expose each participant to fundamental concepts and pathways to leadership, and cultivate skills that are necessary for success regardless of each student’s field of endeavor. Participants will develop the confidence and skills required in order to make decisions as effective leaders. The program takes place in Athens, the city where the foundations of Western thought and civilization were first laid out.

With three weeks full of courses, workshops, simulations, debates, and field trip adventures, the Academy is more than just a summer program, it is a holistic experience! Participants investigate areas of interest, becoming exposed to new subjects and academic disciplines, in order to better understand the workings of leadership. They are inspired to challenge themselves in meaningful ways that lead to self-discovery, personal growth, and responsible decision-making. The program encompasses the following components:

During the three weeks of the Academy, participants will be encouraged to work together, transfer knowledge, interact, embrace the diversity of these three components, and practice their competencies in the real world.
