Impactful Summers: Projects, Programs, Activities, and More

The summer break offers a valuable opportunity for students to explore their interests, deepen their passions, and build skills that matter. Whether students are spending the summer at home, traveling with family, or attending a program on a college campus, a well-planned summer can be both enriching and impactful.

Join IvyWise college admissions counselor Kayon (formerly at MIT) for an exclusive webinar for German International School Washington D.C. students and families focused on purposeful summer planning. Kayon shares insights into why colleges value how students spend their summers and how students can design meaningful experiences through independent purpose projects, internship opportunities, research stints, academic programs on college campuses, and self-directed exploration — no matter where they are in the world.

Kayon covers how to stay engaged with academic and extracurricular interests in a way that will strengthen a student’s long-term college applicant profile. Families will leave with practical strategies and ideas to help students make the most of the summer break — wherever it takes them.
