Hilltop Global Group: Your Gateway to Transformative Global Education

Hilltop Global Group is a premier education consulting and destination management company dedicated to delivering unique and impactful experiential learning programs across Africa. We partner with universities, colleges, and students from the U.S. and beyond to create study abroad experiences, internships, faculty development programs, and service initiatives that bridge continents and foster global understanding.

Founded and led by diaspora Africans with a shared passion for reshaping the narrative of the African continent, Hilltop Global Group is headquartered in Washington, DC, with a strong presence in Accra, Ghana, and Nairobi, Kenya, and an extensive professional network spanning the African continent. Our founders, alumni of the Executive MBA Program at Georgetown University, bring unparalleled expertise, firsthand cultural knowledge, and professional insights to every program we design.

Hilltop’s services extend far beyond logistics. We specialize in:

    • Turnkey Experiential Education Programs: Customizable study abroad, internship, and co-curricular experiences that connect participants to Africa’s vibrant cultural, academic, and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
    • Faculty Development and Training Initiatives: Tailored programs for educators to experience Africa firsthand, fostering curriculum internationalization and deeper institutional partnerships.
    • Consulting Project Sourcing & Design: Cross-industry collaborations in key growth sectors, including business, technology, healthcare, and sustainability, designed to provide real-world learning and development opportunities.
    • Cultural & Humanitarian Experiences: Immersive cultural activities and impactful service projects that leave a lasting impact on participants and host communities.

Hilltop is a proud member of the Executive MBA Council (EMBAC) and participates regularly in key global education conferences and events, keeping us at the forefront of trends and innovations in international education. These affiliations, combined with strong academic and professional partnerships, enable us to deliver programs that not only meet but exceed expectations.

Our mission is to shape the African narrative through meaningful educational initiatives that empower participants, foster global collaboration, and showcase the dynamic potential of the continent. Whether standard or fully customized, our programs are designed to transform perspectives, build bridges, and inspire positive change.
