Who is Young Leaders for?
Best for
Students interested in global issues who want to build confidence through teamwork, discussion and public speaking.
Not ideal if
You prefer quiet individual study or want sustained specialization in one academic subject.
Is Young Leaders worth it?
Young Leaders is worth considering when your main goal is to become more confident contributing to a group and presenting ideas. Small classes, instructor check-ins and practical projects provide several opportunities to practice those skills. Students who participate actively are likely to get more from the experience.
The course spans technology, culture, business and outdoor activities, so its strength is breadth. Students seeking deep academic specialization may prefer a subject-focused course. Families should also weigh the residential package against the day option and their wider travel budget.
