Art Boarding Schools

No, this isn't one of those draw me ads that used to be found in the backs of magazines and comic books. The study at home art schools do still exist, but what if you could forego normal high school and go to an art boarding school focused on your interests?

Keep in mind that art schools today do not just focus on drawing and painting. Many of these boarding schools teach media arts, culinary arts, fabric art, and fashion design. The increasing popularity of video games has made media art hot. Game design can be very lucrative and many young people have made a lot of money doing it. They used to be referred to as geeks, now they're rich geeks.

While art related boarding schools do focus heavily on artistic pursuits, academics are equally important. You need to demonstrate proficiency in normal subjects as well as your chosen art form. College preparatory curriculum prevails.

Classes are much smaller allowing individual attention. The faculty typically works in the field they teach. This will help the student to see their own possibilities upon graduation.

Housing is like normal boarding schools or colleges with dormitory facilities staffed by a house mother and several other employees. The dorms often have a large common area, studio space, and laundry facilities. Meals are also available on campus.

For the student who is passionate about art, an art boarding school gives them freedom to pursue their interests and get a great education. College and career counseling is offered.

Being with other students of like minds fosters creativity and many schools regularly have activities that allow students to display their work. Students also get valuable experience working with others in their chosen field.

For parents who are unsure if this is the best choice for their child, these schools are happy to have you visit, You can tour the school, have your questions answered, and explore your financing options. Costs vary, but almost every school has scholarship and grant programs. There may also be work/study opportunities.

Mom and Dad, don't say no yet. Check it out and make your budding artist happy. Once they are successful, they can support you.
