What is SLE?

    Students in this program get to spend the week with our cadets, live in the barracks, and eat in the mess hall.
    Learn about West Point’s world class academics by trying 4 of our 17 academic workshops.
    Learn about military training and becoming a Leader of Character at West Point by completing two military days to include rappelling, Zodiac boats, combatives (like Jiu-Jitsu) training and more!
    Challenge themselves physically by attempting the Candidate Fitness Assessment, conducting physical training, and sports.
    Complete their admissions interview with a cadet.
Spend the week making friends with other students from all over the US who are applying to West Point.
You may sign up for this program by using the QR code in flyer found in your English classroom or directly at westpoint.edu. We will accept applications until April 15th. SLE is competitive and not all who apply are offered to attend.
