The Summer Academy for Future Teachers is a four-day long orientation program for outstanding Kansas high school students who have just completed either their sophomore or junior year, are considering teaching as a career, and would profit from a campus experience to explore a career in teaching. Fifty students are chosen from throughout Kansas.
Guidelines are on the application form.
The only other costs to students for participation is the amount needed for transportation to and incidental personal experiences while at Emporia State University. The Academy is held on the Emporia State University campus. Students are housed in university residence halls, and meals are served in the Memorial Union. Academy sessions are held in the Memorial Union and Visser Hall, one of the most attractive university buildings in Kansas and home of The Teachers College. There is a wide variety of recreational activities available on campus, including volleyball, swimming, tennis, other sports, and evening social events.
