The Summer Leadership Academy of West Africa will be held in Dakar, Senegal during the months of June and August 2008. Academy participants will develop leadership skills by engaging in an integrated project based curriculum covering core subjects and three areas of focus. The Academy will challenge today’s high school students to better understand who they are, where they come from, and how they fit into the international community.

‘The Academy was the best time of my life!”
