Program Schedule

Below is a visual snapshot of this year’s program. Webinar details and times will be announced at a later date. Class meetings are three hours long and available in either the morning, afternoon, or evening (EDT), but note that not all courses are available at all times.

For meeting times of specific courses, review the Pre-College Online Curriculum. Students can begin engaging with course content one week before the first class meetings.

Orientation week

The program begins with a virtual orientation. In this live meeting, you’ll hear more about what you can expect, advice on how to manage your time well, and how to navigate the various web portals. You’ll hear useful tips on how to document your work so that it’s displayed well for online viewing (which will be very helpful for your portfolio preparations).

We’ll share some useful insights on how to set up your home studio so you’ll be ready to go when classes start. You will also begin accessing your asynchronous course content to prepare you for your first class meetings the following week.

Times zone and class times

As an online program, you will work alongside students from all over the world. Our live meeting times were selected to accommodate students based in the East Coast, West Coast, China, and India. Here is a table of class times according to where students most often join us from.
