At Sarah Lawrence we believe in the power of exploration and reflection to open up new worlds. That’s why students come to our summer programs – to tap into a creative space that enables them to share a powerful story, through writing, film, or social justice activism. Each summer, over one hundred high school students come to Sarah Lawrence to experience rigorous academic and creative programs. Our immersive one-, three-, and five-week non-credit programs in filmmaking, creative writing and social justice activism represent the strengths and talents of our faculty, making the experience of study and creation at Sarah Lawrence accessible in the summer. The programs meet students at their current talent and skill level, helping them develop and grow through individualized attention and the creation of original work. Residential options give pre- college students a taste of living on a college campus, while non- residential options offer scheduling flexibility. Rooted in the Sarah Lawrence College tradition of one-on-one interaction, students meet individually with faculty to draw out their best, most authentic work. The Programs In partnership with the International Film Institute of New York, students in the Film Intensive spend five weeks creating an original film, learning the entire process of making a film, from screenwriting to editing. The curriculum fully engages participants from start to finish. Classes are designed to work closely together to ensure students are prepared to complete their films by the end of the program. Designed to give high school students an immersive experience of Sarah Lawrence, the Social Justice Intensive provides students theoretical, historical, and present day perspectives on issues such as class, gender, sexuality, and race.
