West Point

Summer Leaders Program
New England/Northeast

The Summer Leaders Experience (SLE) application is currently closed and will reopen next January for high school juniors. SLE is highly competitive since there are normally 6,000 applicants and just 1,000 attendees. SLE gives high school juniors a week to experience life as a cadet to inform their college selection decision. SLE is a fast-paced program of academic classes, military training, physical fitness training, and intramural athletics conducted during the month of June each year. You must have standardized test scores to be considered for SLE. In addition to academics students will also take part in daily military training including: Physical Training, Weapons Familiarization, Obstacle Courses, Leadership Reaction Course and Athletic and Social Experience. You'll enjoy a lot of social interaction including intramural sports and social events where you'll get to know fellow SLE attendees and West Point cadets. You will also have the chance to ask cadets questions about the Academy and the Army. The entire week will give you a good sense of whether the United States Military Academy is a good fit for you.
