I am a current alumni of the George Washington Prep. It helps young teens prepare for college and the life ahead. A lot of young teens are confused with their faith and if their faith is their own. Some kids grow up going to Church, but don't even know who they are worshiping or understand what God has done for us. On the other hand there are kids that just need a break from school to find out what they want to do with their life. Some want to find out if college is even an option or do they need to go a different route.
