Program Description Monday through Friday NEW HOURS 9:00am - 3:30pm Our widely popular summer program runs for eight weeks in July and August with a creative and exciting theme each week. We offer students the opportunity to try a variety of art projects in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. Our program runs Monday through Friday, during which your child will enjoy five art classes per day including drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture and activity, as well as a 20 minute snack time and 50 min lunch/recess time. Children are grouped by grade in small groups no larger than 13 students. They stay with their group all day for the full week. In addition to our professional and experienced teachers and office staff, each group has an individual counselor who attends classes, snack, lunch and recess. Each Friday afternoon parents are invited to attend an art exhibit featuring work by all of our students. Children love to share the fantastic results of their hard work! These popular programs are a great way for your child to have fun while learning during the school vacation. Please visit our frequently asked questions page for more information.
