Pre-College Programs

Athena’s pre-college programs offer high school students the opportunity to explore what collaborative changemaking looks like, just like Barnard students do here at Athena.

Athena runs the Athena Summer Innovation Institute (an intensive 3-week entrepreneurship bootcamp) and runs the Leadership in Action series of the Next Gen Leadership Institute.

The application to apply for Summer 2025 Programs is now open. More information on all of Barnard's Pre-College Programs can be found at precollege.barnard.edu.

Follow Athena on Instagram to keep up with these programs this summer! You can read a reflection from the summer 2023 Athena Pre-College Programs Intern here.
