Get a head-start this summer by exploring business & data in Paris

This summer, go beyond the traditional classroom. The Albert School International Summer School is a two-week program held entirely in English in central Paris. It’s designed for high school students who enjoy mathematics and are curious about the world of business and entrepreneurship.

The program combines core principles in business, data, and strategy with hands-on projects and group work. You’ll learn how to read data, make decisions, build simple business models, and communicate ideas clearly. Sessions are led by professionals and academics—people who apply these skills every day in their careers.

Outside the classroom, the experience continues. You’ll explore Paris, meet students from other countries, and learn what it’s like to study in an international environment. It’s a compact but intensive introduction to both university-style learning and life in a global city.

Why Albert School summer school?

We believe that education shouldn’t wait until college. Designed to help students take a bold step forward during the summer, our program offers:

‍

‍

1. Exploration across disciplines

You’ll dive into the fundamentals of data analysis, business strategy, and quantitative reasoning, key areas that underpin modern careers. This mini-campus experience replicates the academic rhythm of Albert School, offering students a chance to test their interests, develop new skills, and explore topics that are quickly becoming essential in the data-driven economy. Whether you're curious about tech, business, or entrepreneurship, this is an ideal opportunity to explore without pressure.

‍

‍

2. Practical and balanced learning

Theory meets practice from day one. Lectures are seamlessly integrated with hands-on workshops and collaborative group projects. Concepts like data visualization, storytelling with numbers, and business model design are applied immediately in practical challenges. This approach ensures that learning is not only engaging, but directly relevant to real-world problems. It’s about building confidence through doing, within a supportive, interactive environment.

‍

‍

3. Professional guidance

Our instructors bring their day jobs to the classroom. You'll learn from professionals actively working as data scientists, founders, brand strategists, or consultants. Their teaching is informed by real experience, not just academic theory. These experts guide students through both the technical and strategic dimensions of work, offering mentorship that bridges the gap between school and career. Their goal is to equip you with insights you can use, now and in the future.

4. Meaningful connections

You won’t just meet other students, you’ll collaborate, debate, and co-create with them. This is your chance to build friendships with like-minded peers from across the globe, all while working in a team-oriented, international setting. Group sessions are designed to spark critical thinking and expose you to different viewpoints, helping you prepare for diverse, multicultural workplaces where collaboration and communication are key.

‍

‍

5. Cultural immersion

Housed in a 2,500 m² historical campus in the heart of Paris, this program isn’t just about academics, it’s a full cultural experience. From lively shared spaces to curated evening events, learning continues long after the classroom ends. Explore the city through guided walks that go beyond tourist landmarks to discover hidden gems, local stories, and the unique energy of Parisian life. The setting itself becomes part of your learning journey.
