During your first 48 hours at the St. Albans School of Public Service, you might . . . take part in a mock Supreme Court argument of a current case . . . visit the Supreme Court to talk to a sitting Justice . . . get argument tips from some of the top Supreme Court lawyers in the country.

What might you do the rest of your four weeks this summer? Debate key public policy issues using graduate-level case studies. Take part in a sophisticated computer simulation where you play a first term member of Congress--you'll pick committee assignments, spend money on campaigning, engage in spin control . . . but will you be re-elected? Host a formal dinner for ambassadors from around the world. Talk to public servants from Senators to FBI Agents to U.S. Army Special Forces Officers to State Department Foreign Service Officers. Make a political commercial. Explore DC, from the Monuments to the Museums to the Mall.

Oh, and debate and argue and discuss politics and public policy with thirty students your age from all over the country and the world (all of whom, like you, have a passionate interest in public service, public policy, politics, or government).  

The School of Public Service is a one-month co-educational residential summer program for rising high school seniors. Students live at the historic St. Albans School , located on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral. The School of Public Service is now accepting applications for the 2008 session. The online application is available on our website at: www.schoolofpublicservice.org.

2008 Dates: June 22-July 19, 2008.

We admit students on a rolling basis but with only 30 students, places go quickly.
