ATTENTION SCHOLARS SUMMER ACADEMY
A Strother School Program for high school juniors and seniors
Session 1: June 24th - 28th (10am-3pm)
Session 2: August 19th - 23rd (10am-3pm)
Location: SoRA Attention Sanctuary in Dumbo

Human attention will be the most highly valued skill in the twenty-first century. The incursion of digital technologies in every area of our contemporary life has systematically depleted our faculty of deep attention — which is, after all, the foundation of the creative and liberal arts traditions.

The Attention Scholars Summer Academy is a week-long, inquiry-based program for select rising high school seniors in New York City. Through readings, activities, group discussions and a self-led creative project, admitted students will explore the role of human attention in our world. Students’ exploration of attention’s relation to several major themes — Art, Politics, Environment, and Community — will culminate in a creative scholarly work produced over the course of the week.

We encourage motivated and creatively inclined students to register. A select number of tuition scholarships are available. Click HERE to apply.
