About

SCAD Summer Seminars offers weeklong workshops for high school students who have completed their freshman, sophomore, or junior years. Participants gain valuable educational experience while developing their creative vision through exciting art and design assignments and projects.

Participants attend workshops and have an all-access pass to the university's extensive facilities, resources, and libraries. Workshops may include demonstrations, lectures, studio work, and local field trips, and are taught by SCAD professors, alumni, or select graduate students. Class size is small, with generally 20 or fewer participants in each workshop. Organized daily social and cultural activities create an authentic experience of life as a SCAD student in the city.

Participants may choose to attend up to two (2) Sessions in Atlanta or up to two (2) Sessions in Savannah, or separate sessions at each location. English is the language of instruction for all workshops.
