For six decades, AMDA has been the catalyst behind numerous successful careers in theatre, film, and television. Our mission is to empower students to become proactive industry professionals, forging their own path to success rather than waiting for opportunities to come their way. As a result, our alumni have graced the world’s stages, starred in countless television shows and films, and captivated audiences worldwide. They are true changemakers, redefining the boundaries of art and performance.

As we step into the New Year, we invite students to embark on a journey to make their dreams a reality – and it all starts with an audition.

Applying to AMDA is a seamless process, tailored to meet the specific requirements of each program. To get started, we welcome students to attend an AMDA Open House, held in both the vibrant cities of New York and Los Angeles!

At our Open Houses, students will get a glimpse of the immersive life of an AMDA student and discover our world-class faculty, who bring unparalleled expertise to our performing arts curriculum. They will have the unique opportunity to engage in insightful Q&A sessions with AMDA alumni and faculty, gain valuable insights into financial aid and scholarship options, and receive personalized guidance throughout the admission process. We eagerly anticipate the chance to connect with students and share the transformative AMDA experience with them.

It’s that time when your students search for summer programs that tap into their interests and begin the next chapter in their lives of aligning them with their future career goals.

At Boston University Summer Journalism Academy (BUSJ), students not only have an opportunity to have award-winning working journalists, they also have the chance to experience Boston University and the city of Boston.

For 15 years, Boston University College of Communication has offered this program to teach high school students in-person and virtually core skills in news reporting, interviewing, and writing, focusing on hands-on experience in and around Boston and their home communities.

Our photojournalism program taught by former Boston Globe photographer, Steve Haines, prepares students, like Taylor Coester  (a BUSJ alum and now a BU student), to work alongside journalists in capturing the best photo for their stories. Parents and students enjoy hearing that no third-party vendors are involved, and they can experience an authentic pre-college experience at a college on their list.

For students living on-campus, they have the opportunity to:

  • Meet with a Boston University’s representative to discuss the college admissions process
  • Explore what it’s like living in a residence hall and studying in a university environment
  • Experience Boston museums, historical sites, and neighborhoods during their free time

Students decide if they would like to attend our program in-person or virtually. Our three-week on-campus session starts June 26. Our two-week virtual sessions begin June 19, July 3, and July 17.

If you have a student who wants a real college experience this summer and wants to pursue a communication degree, encourage them to learn more by visiting www.summerjournalism.org and applying soon, as limited seats are available for our in-person and virtual sessions.

Greetings from the University of Chicago!

We are so excited to share a new summer program this year which would offer your students an opportunity to develop their math and science skills while familiarizing themselves with UChicago’s culture of inquiry and beautiful ivy-laden campus.

The Neubauer Phoenix STEM Scholars Summer Program is designed to eliminate barriers to entry that have surrounded STEM fields and help usher in a new generation of changemakers into these fields. This program invites rising high school seniors to campus for a one-week immersive program taught by world-class UChicago faculty, and provides access to college counseling, state of the art facilities, and other resources. The Neubauer Phoenix STEM Scholars program offers talented students an environment of collaborative learning, mentorship, and STEM-focused advising.

Not only will this program offer students tremendous insight and knowledge into college-level STEM courses, but it will also provide a chance to acquaint themselves with our College, our campus, and our community. The opportunity to live in and engage with a major city is one that can be perspective-changing for many summer scholars at UChicago. Chicago is the “City of Big Shoulders”— a city skyline carved by architects of the past and the present. This city is home to some of the most accomplished engineers, scientists, mathematicians, doctors, and inventors of our time. Our university stands on the shoulders of giants, bolstered by the achievements of the Chicagoans and UChicago scholars who came before us, and your students may someday share in these achievements.

If you’re interested in learning more about this opportunity or recommending it to a student, you can visit here. For additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Program Director, Nicole Mullen at ncmullen@uchicago.edu.

I’m writing to invite your students and parents to a free webinar on US & UK university applications with admissions specialists from Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, UPenn, NYU and more.

The webinar will take place on Sunday 12th March at 10am CET. It will be an opportunity to speak directly with former admissions interviewers and lecturers from leading universities.

Please pass details on to relevant senior students (years 11, 12 and 13) and parents to sign up here.

J&J Education provides university admissions support, working with high schools and individuals globally. We’ll be delighted to chat further if you have questions.

With the new year, we know that you and many of your students are thinking about summer.

Do you have a student thinking about a career in communications or enjoy writing? We have just the thing: the Boston University Summer Journalism Academy, hosted by Boston University College of Communication.

For 13 years, our program has taught high school students in-person and virtually core skills in news reporting, interviewing, and writing, focusing on hands-on experience in and around Boston and their home communities. Taught by award-winning working journalists such as Pulitzer Prize winner Lara Salahi and Rochelle Sharpe, students learn how to follow facts and get to the heart of stories affecting communities.

We challenge students to step outside their comfort zone – and experience life as a working journalist. In the past, our students spoke with policymakers, reported from a massive immigration march, and highlighted issues affecting teens during the pandemic. They learned how to interview strangers, ask probing questions and assemble it in a concise story on deadline.

Students learn practical skills during their sessions and will receive a taste of how a newsroom operates.

The academy now offers two options: an on-campus residential program over three weeks for students with journalism experience and a learn-from-home program over two weeks for all experience levels. For students interested in photography, we offer a special photojournalism track for both.

Applications for the on-campus session June 26 to July 14 are due on April 14. Applications for learn-at-home sessions starting June 19, July 3, and July 17 are due on May 5.

Best of all, students will save $400 off the full fee for the on-campus academy or $200 off the full fee of the learn-from-home academy if they apply, are accepted, and registered in full by March 3.

Students are invited to a Management &Technology Summer Institute virtual information session on Monday, December 12, 2022, at 7:00 PM Eastern Time.

Learn more about the M&T Summer Institute, a fast-paced college course that introduces students to the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for successfully linking technology and management concepts in just three weeks!
