formerly known as the Loudoun International Youth Leadership Summit
The Loudoun International Summit will be held April 10th to April 19th, 2026. Loudoun County students look forward to the opportunity to learn from the perspectives of their peers from around the world and find common ground on the most pressing issues facing the global community.
In 2012 Dominion High School hosted Loudoun's first international summit. 24 students from six countries were hosted by Dominion families for 10 days of globally-focused learning. In each of the subsequent years the summit grew and expanded to include additional schools in Loudoun County and the world. By 2019, over 30 international delegations and 8 Loudoun schools were participating. During the COVID-19 crisis, students re-imagined an online program to engage our partner schools.
In 2024 we resumed the in-person program. Most recently, in 2025, five Loudoun high schools (Dominion, Loudoun Valley, Park View, Rock Ridge, and Woodgrove) hosted over 70 students (19 international delegations), including schools from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Africa, and the Ukraine.
We look forward to welcoming back our international partner schools in April 2026!
