The National WWII Museum offers rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors a summer experience unlike any other. The Student Leadership Academy takes students through the history of WWII with the aim of exploring leadership lessons from one of the most important periods in world history.

This five-day, six-night program immerses students in the Museum’s wealth of exhibits, artifacts, images and documents with structured Leadership Lesson Debates along the way. Not only will students have the unique opportunity to study WWII history at one of the world’s top-rated museums, they will also venture out to historic sites in the community including the Chalmette National Battlefield and NASA Michoud Assembly Facility (on the site of the former Higgins Industries defense plant) and meet some of the men and women who experienced WWII firsthand.

Students will complete this journey with a deeper understanding of history and the repercussions of decisions, as well as real-life experience to take them to the next stages of their lives. They will also receive a Certificate of Completion and a leadership portfolio for college applications.
