What Makes Washington Business Week Unique

“Real world experience. Life-changing results.”

It’s more than a tagline for us, it’s the core of who we are and what we do. You see, the distinguishing feature of Washington Business Week is our discovery/experiential approach. This is the best teaching method that enables students to take control of their own learning experience, making the outcomes richer and more impactful. Because the learning is hands-on and student-directed, teens are inspired by the knowledge that they are wholly responsible for their own success.

By working in small teams with people they don’t know, teen participants are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone into a safe environment; this typically results in increased self-confidence. It’s not uncommon that after Washington Business Week is over, parents will call us and ask “What did you do to my son/daughter?” But it’s true – sometimes parents even find the dinner table conversation is transformed.

Some other teen programs compliment the work of Washington Business Week, but we are the only teen program and summer camp that gives kids an intensive, in-depth, and real-world experience.
