    Overview

    Beyond Akeela is a three week summer pre-college program with an intentional focus on helping teens transition into their post-secondary lives. Based in a college campus setting, participants are part of a community in which they practice independent living skills, experience adventure, and thrive socially. Beyond Akeela expands horizons, develops self-advocacy, and creates friendships that last a lifetime. The dynamic curriculum grows with teens each year.
