Academic content in depth

HEC Paris currently presents its high-school provision as Youth School Programs, with themes including financial literacy, climate and social sustainability, entrepreneurship, and AI, leadership and critical thinking. Modules differ in language, with English and French offerings. This profile retains its URL identifier while describing the current official structure rather than treating an older title as a fixed course.

Classes, assignments and workload

The current official page targets high-school students aged 15–18 and lists some 2027 modules lasting three days, within a broader description of three-day to one-week daytime courses. Verify the language, exact dates and accommodation arrangements. Older five-day formats and other HEC programmes’ prices or housing rules should not be carried over automatically.

Eligibility and international applicants

Youth programmes are for high-school students aged 15–18 from all nationalities. This pathway requires evidence of English proficiency, school results and motivation.

An international or non-local pathway is documented. Check your age, school stage, language and status requirements.

Dates and costs

Schedule

The current directory includes three-day modules starting July 15, 2027. Check each course page for other module dates.

Costs

Current full costs require verification. Check tuition, accommodation, meals, insurance and travel inclusions.

The portfolio now comprises several Youth School modules. Do not apply the former five-day leadership programme’s content or costs to every new course. Some modules are taught in French.

HANLIN EDITORIAL GUIDANCE

Fit and preparation

Useful for students ready to reflect on how they act in teams. Prepare concrete experiences and thoughtful analysis of decisions and improvement.

Application preparation

Select a module before preparing questions: budgeting and risk for financial literacy, user needs for entrepreneurship, or stakeholder trade-offs for sustainability. Ground leadership claims in real experience and reflection. For French-taught modules, confirm readiness to study in French; English ability does not substitute for the teaching language.

Choosing well and reflecting on outcomes

It may suit students seeking a short introduction to business, personal development and social issues. Value depends on the module and learning goals; institutional reputation does not establish course depth, credit or admission promises. Record the analytical frameworks used, a change in perspective and a practical next learning step.
