Westport, CT -- Westport Continuing Education (WCE) presents the Staples Summer Academy: newly expanded offerings of college and career-ready summer programs for high school and college students.

New courses will help teens develop their important college essay; promote innovation, creativity and 21st century skill-building; and guide students interested in the fields of biotechnology and horticulture. The summer intensive The Art of Innovation: Cultivating Qualities for the Emerging Future seeks to foster creativity through collaboration, deep listening, and increasing self-awareness.
