Preparing tomorrow’s leaders
The Pierce Leadership Academy at the American College of Greece is an experiential three-week summer program in leadership, for international and local students, 13-17 years old. The Academy’s goal is to stimulate intellectual curiosity, expose each participant to fundamental concepts and pathways to leadership, and cultivate skills that are necessary for an aspiring leader, regardless of their sphere of endeavor. The program takes place in Athens, the city where the foundations of Western thought and civilization were first laid out.
