Six students in grades 9-12 are selected through an application process to attend the annual National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC ). Academy students attend this conference, which takes place in a different city every year, with more than 1,600 other students from independent schools across the nation.
Happening alongside the student conference, the People of Color Conference is for educators, and members of the Academy faculty join more than 3,500 other educators at this conference each year.
