College Essay Workshop

Summer 2024 Offerings: June 17-28 and July 15-26

The College Essay Workshop will be offered twice during Summer 2024. When registering, students can choose their preferred session from one of the two offerings: June 17-28 or July 15-26.

This is a two-week workshop designed to help rising 12th-grade students get a head start on the college application process. During the first week of the workshop, students will attend synchronous video conferences and work sessions designed to get them from ideation, to an outline and ultimately to a draft. The second week of the workshop will be centered around small-group feedback sessions during which students and teachers will work to improve initial drafts. Students will walk away from this two-week workshop with a strong working draft of an essay that they can continue to refine for their college applications.

Note: Unlike other GOA courses, this workshop is ungraded and non-credit-bearing.
