Advanced Writing Exploration Program (AWE)
School Year Programs
The Middle School Advanced Writing Exploration Program (AWE) invites 7th and 8th-grade writers to be part of a community of dedicated, focused writers looking to explore, expand, and deepen their literary passions. The program includes multi-genre workshops, as well as genre-specialized master class sessions. All workshops are student-driven and author-led, and writers will receive continuous feedback from their instructor and peers.
The AWE program also includes one private session in which the writer can focus on academic essay writing, admissions essays, or the creative genre of their choice.
The program will inspire and challenge middle school writers, as well as prepare them for Writopia’s popular and esteemed Creative Portfolio program for high schoolers.
This is an application-only program. We are currently accepting applications on a rolling basis.
Tuition: $645 (Limited financial aid available.)
