About Summer Academy
Summer Academy (SA) is a week-long program hosted by The King’s College every July that offers high schools students the opportunity to earn college credit through workshops with our professors. While SA is usually offered in-person in NYC, this year SA will be going online. High schoolers will study big ideas, connect with other talented peers, and learn from professionals and industry leaders in New York City. This summer, Week One (July 12-17) will focus on philosophy, economics and finance while Week Two (July 26-31) focuses on journalism. Learn more at bit.ly/tkc-summer.
Deadline to Enter for Grand Prizes: May 1, 2020.
Deadline to Enter for Automatic Winnings: June 15, 2020.
We are excited to see the creative content you come up with. Ready, Set…Go!
