Summer School

Discover university life and academics at Sciences Po

Every summer, Sciences Po opens its doors to secondary school students from around the world as part of the Summer School’s Pre-College Programmes. These programmes are an opportunity for high school students to discover Sciences Po and experience university life and academics over the course of a summer. Through rigorous coursework taught in English, students explore current events, discover the social sciences and get a taste of university academics. The Pre-College Programmes are open to high school students who will still be enrolled in high school in Fall 2025. For the on-campus programme, students must be under 18 years of age at the start of the programme.

In 2026, the Summer School will offer two Pre-College programmes:

  • On campus programme: July 4th - July 21st, 2026
    Participants will be able to discover university life on the beautiful Reims campus whilst studying key Sciences Po disciplines. The programme also includes a weekend exploring Paris.
  • Online programme: June 29th - July 9th, 2026
    Participants will engage in active negotiation sessions with students from around the world, and will be able to delve into pressing international climate challenges.
