The Summer Pre-College Program at the Institute of Art and Design at New England College is one of the highlights of the year for faculty and staff because of the significant positive impact it has on young artists.  Given the current health crisis, we have considered a variety of online program formats that will enable pre-college students to enhance their development as artists, and engage with like-minded peers and faculty members.

This summer, the Institute is offering a flexible Pre-College program that students can participate in at their chosen pace and duration – students can take just one class that meets twice a week for three weeks, or take up to four classes over six weeks.  The details of the program are below.  When you’re ready, click here to register.

• Session I: July 6 – 23
• Session II: July 27 – August 13
• Courses run Monday & Wednesday (M/W) or Tuesday & Thursday (T/TH), from 10AM – 12PM

Format of Instruction
